Existentialism and Moder Literature

The essays in Existentialism and Modern Literature by Davis McElroy were originally written as lectures. McElroy uses the word God in the sense that God governs man from within by making each of us a unique experiment in humanity. Existentialism is a term that has been applied to the work of a number of nineteenth and twentieth century philosophers who despite profound doctrinal differences took the human subject -- not merely the thinking subject but the acting feeling living human individual and his or her conditions of existence -- as a starting point for philosophical thought. The titles of these lectures are The Problem of Mans Existence Modern Literature: A Warning and Existentialism and Modern Literature.
