I was wondering if there was anyone here who subscribes to or has been greatly influenced by Existentialism. I've been struggling with Sartre's
Nausea and I was wondering if anyone could offer a few general insights into Existentialism as a system of thought that might help me make sense of what he's trying to say.
I know I've seen a Camus quote in a sig or something, so there's got to be at least one of you
.
Just to broaden the topic a little, do you have any suggestions for further reading? Websites that help explain the major works? Favorite authors? What about your take on existentialist philosophy?
I wish I had more to contribute myself, but this is my first real exposure to these ideas. As I continue to read, I'll try to give my own ideas about them.
