I'm still a pleb so I can't comprehend this, it seems like an enigma.
How can someone religious like dostoyevsky support existentialism? Dont existentialism and theism contradict each other?
Epic retardation familia

Simply epic! I'm new but can already spot a retarded pseud
Existentialism isn't a coherent ideology but just a general focus on the existential questions of life, particularly finding meaning in life

Welcome newfriend! It only gets worse from here on out

Make sure to post it in r/4chan!!

Not necessarily. Read Dream of a Ridiculous Man and think about how the Ridiculous Man's epiphany relates to Sartre's concept of responsibility.

N-nani? But those are regular posts though. I did, however heard of S+ tier posts, but never actually seen them.
OP, I'm not smart, but imo they don't have to cancel each other out. What if your meaning in life is to live in God's way? To be a good man, to not hurt others, to love and forgive those who hurt you?
What if it's the only objective good meaning in life?

Existentialism is Christian morality for modernists, contra the Russian nihilists. This is why these Christian muh-faith apologists like D and K get lumped in there.

Anyone that does things like shorten words such as "contrary" is a basic fucktard trying to look intelligent or so accustomed to the principle he's talking about that he just doesn't have time to write out the additional three letters. Either way, definitely not somebody you want to take seriously on anything.

it means "against" you goddamned fuckwit, it appears in like every latinate language and then some.
>>8611505
Goofy guy, you haven't read based Soren, have you?
>>8611877
You dumbass, contra is a word in its own right.
The origin of formal existentialism was by a theologian that basically reduced human experience to faith and doubt.
I don't remember exactly where it was written, but Augustine wrote something among the lines of "I doubt, therefore I am"
If anything, atheistic existentialism makes no sense.

existentialism branches from religion dumbass
