Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The two best to write about are Nietzche and Sartre for several reasons.

N. was the first confirmed existentialist while Sartre was the last.

There is an extreme difference between the two. N. was in favor of a person throwing up their hands since life has no meaning while S. believed that man could make his life better through action.
