BETWEEN EXISTENTIALISM AND ANTI-EXISTENTIALISM

Abstract

The article is an evaluation of Pollock.s anti-existentialist argument and its place in the contemporary debates about Existentialism. We demonstrate that the main contemporary objections to Pollock.s Anti- Existentialism can be grouped into two argumentative directions: (1) Pollock.s supposed confusion of inner and outer truth (Fine, Speaks); (2) Pollock.s assumption that there is such state of affairs as Socrates.s not existing (Kroon). We also introduce an argument against Pollock's crucial argumentative step against existentialism.
