He's unable to cope with the radical implications of his human freedom and thus seeking metaphysical explanations to reintroduce external structure into his life.

She was also an atheist and spoke fluent French. I once mentioned I was reading The Myth of Sisyphus. About a week later she asked me how it was going. I said I got half way through and couldn't muster the will to continue. Her reply was "You're smarter then me. I read the whole book" Only true if intelligence is tested by your ability to know when an author doesn't really have anything to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do have to point out, all existentialism isn't necessarily as radical or atheistic as that of Sartre or of what we think of as typical French modernist thought.

I'm not Francophobic, but I can't make heads or tails of modern French thought. I think it all went down hill after Descartes and Voltaire. After their time the only French thinker I can even really understand is Foucault. The rest seem to be speaking gibberish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
