you know what, I agree with what the initial poster said- to some extent. I think its an interesting point to make that existentialism works as a literary movement but not as a philosophy (as in the best way to live your life). One of the best stabs at existentialism I have read is the cult feminist novel, Fear of Flying. Jong laughs at the type of malaise ridden male who will use existentialism as an excuse to avoid any responsibility. and I must say I have met more than a few pseudophilosophers who have done just that. 'yeah sweetheart we should be living for the moment- fancy a shag?'

now the way you all jumped on the original poster I am guessing you don't like him, but it was an attempt to get debate going. this is the philosophy board after all.

peace out tough guys!
