 The bibliography is divided into two sections; taken together, they provide a representative sample of existentialist writing. The first includes books that are cited or mentioned in the body of the article. The second contains supplementary reading, including selected works by some of the figures mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, certain classical readings in existentialism, and more recent studies of relevance to the issues discussed. The bibliography is, somewhat arbitrarily, limited to works in English, and no attempt at comprehensiveness has been made. For detailed bibliographies of the major existentialists, including critical studies, the reader is referred to the entries devoted to the individual philosophers.
