Description
The brilliant psychologist Rollo May was a major force in existential psychology. Here, he brings together the ideas of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and other great thinkers to offer insights into its ideas and techniques.
He pays particular attention to the causes of loneliness and isolation and to our search to find new and firm moorings in order to move toward a future where responsibility, creativity, and love can play a role.
For readers seeking to deepen their understanding of existentialist thought, The Discovery of Being provides a thorough exploration of both theory and application, making it an essential addition to the realm of psychological literature.
