I agree with Deven that meaning can come from within ourselves, and that subjective meaning is just as valuable as external meaning. This way of thinking, rather than suicide, seems to be the best solution, in my opinion, to an existential crisis. I also thoroughly enjoyed the video that Deven posted of A.C. Grayling discussing the topic. I loved how Grayling turned a rather depressing topic into something optimistic and inspirational. Like Deven, I also agree with the aphorism, "The meaning of life is to make life meaningful," which Grayling mentions in his discussion. Overall, I am very happy that Deven posted the video of A.C. Grayling, because I was not familiar with him before watching the video, and I loved listening to his take on the topic.

Are There Contemporary Existentialists?

Questions:  Who are some contemporary existentialists? Has existentialism decreased significantly in popularity? Why or why not?

After doing some research, I have concluded that there are not many, if any, famous contemporary existentialists. Based on what I found, the most recent group of famous existentialists became popular in the 1930's and 1940's. These existentialists included Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Simone de  Beauvoir. My research also led me to conclude that existentialism has indeed decreased pretty significantly in popularity over the years. One article I read compared existentialism to psychoanalysis because they both were very popular at one time and then decreased, almost fading away entirely, over time. If anyone else has any further input on this topic, I would be very interested in learning more.
