Features: This book provides a systematic and in-depth elaboration on the content of existentialist ethics. Through its rigorous theoretical exploration, the author presents not only a picture of existentialist ethics theory but also a historical analysis of its impact on modern cultural values, thereby demonstrating the author's sense of social responsibility and moral sentiment. The title of this book is "An Existentialist Ethics," and the emphasis on the indefinite article "an" is due to two reasons: First, what I call "existentialist ethics" is not necessarily the existentialist ethics in question, which is not entirely accurate. Without a doubt, we must distinguish between an existentialist ethics rooted in Kierkegaard's Christian existentialism and an ethics based on Heidegger's existential philosophy, and even between the former and an ethics that adopts Sartre's non-dogmatic premises.
