More seriously, you really have absolutely no leads? I don't know much about existentialism with my limited philosophy education, so I can't steer you in the right direction, but I'm surprised that you can be content with that entire book yet can't think of even a few ideas to bounce off us... | ||

It was facetious, and implied satire of the usual problem with the same help topics over and over in blogs | ||

Though if you can't find something to argue about, that's a waste...philosophy is all about discourse and debate...haha. One of the professors at my school said something along the lines of, "In philosophy, any field of study has constant debate going on. People will nitpick and tear apart anything and everything, trying to find everything wrong with it. Then once there's no more problems, we kind of stop talking about it." | ||

Doesn't exisitentialism say we die, that's it, kapoot? We make the choice on how to live blah blah blah, but possibly a hefty arguement on what's the meaning in all of it? If you believe there is no meaning then use Nietzsche to back you up. | ||

Also, another good thing to do is find major outside criticisms and try to refute them, or at least look into what they're trying to do. Well...that formula works well for more contemporary western philo...like epistemology, linguistics and whatnot...I dunno about the older stuff. | ||
