French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist\nimplications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy\nin the former and with art in the latter. Moreover, neither was nonsensical or\nmeaningless; both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration\nof the individual and society. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eThe first major comparative study of Dada and\nExistentialism, this text contributes new perspectives on Dada as movement,\nhistorical legacy, and field of study.
