Existentialism: A collection of articles, videos, and podcasts

Lennox Johnson Resources

This page aims to make learning about existentialism as easy as possible by bringing together the best online articles, podcasts, and videos on one page. To get started, simply choose one of the resources listed below:

Encyclopedia Articles

This section features articles from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The SEP is probably the most comprehensive online philosophy resource. It features in-depth articles on a huge number of philosophical topics, however, it is aimed at an academic audience and may be too detailed and technical for beginners. The IEP is generally more beginner-friendly but is also considered to be less reliable. Wikipedia is also an option, but it is much less reliable than either of these.
