Neither. I said in the recommendation that any one of them can be a starting point.

This is a great list!

The only one I would want to add is Simone de Beauvoir's "Pyrrhus and Cineas." It's such a good introduction to existentialism.

Yes, I suppose that one could work as well

Thanks for this!

Great list! For a textbook/anthology, I use Gordon Marino's Basic Writings of Existentialism, which contains excerpts from some of the books you mentioned. Thanks.

Yes, I generally have my students in my classes read the full texts, rather than excerpts. That's why I've produced series of videos covering their works as resources
