28 August 2025 - existentialism

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I gloss existentialism as "the search for meaning in a meaningless world." It doesn't make sense, but then, it claims meaninglessness so that's as it should be. If only all philosophical stances could hang together so neatly, like revolutionaries.

clue:

To me, existentialism smells like a reaction to Nietzsche's dead God.

give me a clue so sweet and true
