Existentialist ideas deal with the heavy feelings of nothingness and the strange nature of life.
19th Century Beginnings: Thinkers like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche talked about being unique and how life can feel pointless.
20th Century Growth: Later thinkers, like Sartre and Camus, also tackled these ideas. They often showed a dark view of human life.
The real struggle is balancing freedom and responsibility. But by being true to themselves and making their own choices, people can create meaning, even when things seem hopeless.
