William Barrett discusses Heidegger and Existentialism with Bryan Magee in this 1978 interview. Existentialists take human existence and the human condition to be a fundamental issue. They tend to be radical individualists who privilege our lived experience and the passions. They focus on themes such as: freedom, authenticity, anxiety/angst/dread, alienation, death, the absurd, and nihilism. They are often suspicious of any fixed human nature and objective/universal values. Some of the most important existentialist thinkers include Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, SÃ¸ren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Albert Camus, Karl Jaspers, and Simone de Beauvoir.
