HAI HOW MANY OF You consider yourselves to be existentialists or have had an existential dilemma or crisis or whatever in your lifetime. After reading part to most of being and nothingness and fear and trembling i still dont understand what existentialism is and how it can apply to everyday life.
I used to think Heidegger brilliantly bypassed the problem of subject/object through his introduction of dasein and the background but no my philosophy professor tells me he actually took a shortcut and ignored all the important stuff and started with the impersonal. I still think Sartre doesn't make a lot of sense and from a very shallow perspective his philosophy seems to have a lot of inconsistencies in it. Is this a justified reaction, why or not. Thanks

Aren't existentialists allowed to believe in anything they want?
