the Modern Predicament
(London, 1953), give good accounts.
R. G. Olson, An Introduction to Existentialism (New York,

matists. Mary Warnock, Existentialist Ethics (London and
New York, 1967), is a good brief survey (57 pages). A special
number of the Revue Internationale de Philosophie (1949)
contains bibliographies of the subject.

Lowrie, Kierkegaard (London and New York, 1938). It con-
tains a bibliography. G. E. and G. B. Arbaugh, Kierkegaard's

books, Kierkegaard's own comments are contained in The

Sartre

Camus. J. Cruickshank, Albert Camus and the Literature
of Revolt

garded as an existentialist.
