Published His First Mother Dies

Nauseated Strangers Existentialists mean that we
cant rationalize, since we cant explain human
fear, anguish, and pain. To rationalize is absurd,
because in the final analysis, we will find
nothing. Life is absurd. This leads to the term
Nothingness. Thus, since we cant find a meaning of
life more than what we attempt to create by
ourselves, we anguish. Living in the same era,

school of existentialism. Of course there were
others: Kierkegaard, Hei...
