It's none of those really, just the way things are!. I guess it leads to a feeling of great resposibility, but it cuts the bull out of any theories that assume some sort unquantifiable universalityWww@QuestionHome@Com

His beliefs are partly an overreaction to the consequences of atheism, whereas actually it doesn't really matter whether God exists or not!. They are also quite selfish and negative!. For instance, Hell is not other people and only certain depressive or self-centred people would think that!. Even so, his views are also a good resource for rethinking the nature of being!.

Heidegger is the real deal!. Sartre basically just imitated him and dumbed him down!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find it contradictory, interesting and confusing all at the same time!. If there are no rules or guidelines how can we be held responsible for our choices!? Does anyone know any easy to read introductory books about existentialism!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
