Existentialism (3 of 3 notes)

Part One
INTRODUCTION: 5 CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

There are some philosophers who have accepted Kierkegaard’s existentialism but have rejected his solution as being an act of belief. Men like Jean-Paul Sartre are completely atheistic and their philosophy is one of humanism. No doubt the catastrophic events in Europe produced by two world wars, with all of the senseless destruction and bloodshed, left people with a sense that the world is unintelligible and that values of life once held are now meaningless. With the unrest that is in the world after years of “cold war” which keeps getting “hot” in spots, with the threat of a third World War, the horrors of which are beyond imagination, and with nothing to look forward to but becoming “cannon fodder,” many young men are prone to accept this pessimistic view of the world, and feel that all of the values men once talked about are no longer valid.
