Working with S ren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Simone Weil, it both explains different existentialist ideas (authenticity, anxiety, ethics, spirituality and death) and applies them to Bowie. In doing so, it sharpens our understanding of these ideas and of tensions both within existentialism and between it and some other philosophical approaches. In particular, it explores what it means to live an existentially authentic life, and it makes the case that Bowie, while he certainly 'fell' at times, can be understood as an exemplar of such a life. For David Bowie's life and work can be read as a meditation on themes of alienation, loneliness, abandonment, fear, anxiety, meaninglessness, freedom and mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47734702047485,"sku":"9781910761250","price":35.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/CBxhLKa5Z19781910761250.webp?v=1781941921","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/were-nobodys-children-david-bowie-and-existentialism-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
