Quote:As I know it, existentialism has very much to do with life's (lack of) inherent meaning (according to Søren Kierkegaard's school of thought).
Well, I just looked it up on Wikipedia and I get a completely different thing:
Wikipedia Wrote:Existentialism is the philosophical and cultural movement which holds that the starting point of philosophical thinking must be the experiences of the individual.
I admit that I did say somewhere that Deism makes me feel a certain way, but never have I said that it therefore means it's the absolute truth, which I'm assuming is what an existentialist would(?) do. I've tried arguing purely from a reason-based p.o.v. because that's what I value as a free thinker.
Going back to your definition: isn't that nihilism? That life has no inherent meaning?
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
