Philosophy, unless we are concerned with the domain of ethics and politics, pertains to wisdom and wisdom to truth. Does the truth care if it produces in its admirers "good" or "bad" attitudes? And per existentialism, might one's disposition to the world, or that question, depend solely on their physiological constitution (including their own mental state)? To me existentialism is the inevitable consequence of subjects who exist in a world where objects that exist "out there" can only appear as they do "in here" (one's individual perception and conception of them).
Existentialism isn't a philosophy; it's just a bad attitude.
I wish I could remember who first said that.
