Existentialism: Nihilism and Rethinking Value Systems

Summary

Existentialism is a basic terminology concept for theorists that think of the nature of the human condition as a fundamental essence of philosophical issues and who also share the view that this problem is best resolved through ontology. This very broad definition will be clarified by going over seven crucial themes that existentialist thinkers address. Those thinkers considered existentialists are mainly from the continent of Europe, and date from the 19th and 20th centuries. Outside philosophy, the existentialist movement is probably the most popular philosophical movement, and at least two of its members are among the most well-known philosophical characters and widely read philosophical authors.

In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the nature of existentialism and nihilism, two co-existing philosophies that have embraced by many. Nietzsche and Kierkegaard play a major role in these movements, so their works will be quoted and explained.
