Existentialism

[Jimbob]

Liam asked me to start a thread on this so here we go with my opening comment:

Existentialism, in our sense of the word, is a doctrine that does render human life possible; a doctrine, also, which affirms that every truth and every action imply both an environment and a human subjectivity.
(so there)

Actually Liam asked me to start a thread on empty crisp packets - it was my idea to turn it into a debate on existentialism!

I had to trawl through numerous pages before I found an explanation for Existentialism that actually made sense.

(Philosophy) a modern philosophical movement stressing the importance of personal experience and responsibility and the demands that they make on the individual, who is seen as a free agent in a deterministic and seemingly meaningless universe

[Jimbob]

If it made sense it's probably not the best definition
