[quote:Patrick Bateman:MV8yMTI3MDg4XzM1OTUxODI2X0VGQThBNkM1] [quote:DPS:MV8yMTI3MDg4XzM1OTUwOTY0X0RDQjQwRkJG] i hate you! i used to be a nihilist, was so depressed. but now i believe in god and nihilism, like god is the natural and only outcome of ultimate nothingness, which then in turn triggers the ex nihilo [/quote] Lol, wtf? Why do you hate me? And nihilism and existentialism can be related in a way, but are not equal. There are existentialist philosophers who believe in god. [/quote]
Original Message
I wanted to start a thread to discuss Existentialism and what people agree with or disagree with, or just share thoughts or give reading advice.
I understand many have misconceptions of what it really is, and many will not care, but this thread is for those of us that find it interesting.
I have read a lot of Dostoevsky, some Camus, Sartre, Kierkegaard, etc.
So, what are your favorite books, or authors or ideas on the subject?
I am currently taking a class on Existentialism and am reading Dostoevsky's Notes From the Underground for the first time and find it strangely fascinating as well as hilarious.
Any thoughts or ideas anyone would like to share?
