When we hear the word existentialism mentioned, we immediately think of a handful of fuzzy fuzzy faces peeking from the necks of long raincoats, probably cut out against a black and white background. Old and strange people, well, and also quite depressing. However, as Gary Cox reminds us, «existentialists are down-to-earth beings, among other things because they are concerned with practical issues such as human existence, experience, and interactions in the urban environment. ». Hand in hand with Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Heidegger, Camus and so many other names inscribed in the existentialist current, Cox insists on claiming the usefulness of his thinking to combat the main concerns of contemporary men and women, from the freedom to sex, passing (perhaps necessarily) through anguish.

Or, perhaps, to learn how to get out of it: a rigorous journey, but also enjoyable and witty, along the main lines of existentialist thought, and a reminder of its constant relevance and its usefulness to face the routine of our lives every day. Or, perhaps, to learn how to get out of it
