The existentialists asked the essential questions – and still have much to offer us today.
Here are possible reasons to be an existentialist – or at least to read their books with a fresh sense of curiosity:
1 -Existentialists are philosophers of living
2 -Existentialists really care about freedom
3 -Existentialists tackle painful realities
4 -Existentialists try to be authentic
5 -Existentialists think it matters what we do (and may stay up all night arguing about it)
6 -Existentialists are not conformists
7 -Existentialists can be fun to read
8 -Existentialists also write about unconventional subjects
9 -Existentialists think big
