Thank you for at least one clear article on Existentialism. I have problems with this philosophy, not least because I can't always follow the language! However, like many I'm sure, I do not, or ever did, even as a baby/child, see the world as meaningless. There are thousands of world views, which we are free to accept, explore, and follow, even silently, if that's safer. Our values also often dictate our choices and both have to be rationally scrutinised at all times and may often change. I assume existentialists can also choose to be religious! The 'bad faith' examples also seem to me to be cases of ignorance more than, or at least as much as, denial of freedom!
