Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/6578Cormac McCarthy’s Suttree explores the existential problem of life’s meaning with astonishing depth. Jean-Paul Sartre’s theory of bad faith, Albert Camus’s absurdism, and Martin Heidegger’s ethic of care provide insight into Cornelius Suttree’s struggle to realize his identity and live a fulfilling life. Their philosophies are crucial to understanding Suttree’s evolution from an individual without meaning to a member of society with a sense of purpose.Text93 pages1 file (.pdf)enMcCarthy, CormacSuttreeExistentialismSartre, Jean-PaulCamus, AlbertHeidegger, MartinMcCarthy, Cormac--1933---Suttree--Criticism and interpretationExistentialism in literatureOntologyAbsurd (Philosophy)Thesis
