Summarization

• Existentialism is like the terms rationalism and
  empiricism, they belong to intellectual history
  and is one of historical convenience.
  Existentialism was adopted by Jean-Paul Sartre.
  Existentialism became classified with cultural
  movement that thrived in Europe in the 1940s and
  1950s. Major philosophers included Karl Jaspers,
  Martin Heidegger, Martin Buber, Jean Wahl,
  Gabriel Marcel, Jose Ortega y Gasset, Miguel de
  Unamuno, and the Russians Nikolai Berdyaev and
  Lev Shestov. In the nineteenth century,
  philosophers found existentialism to be a
  literary phenomenon as much as a philosophical
  one. By the middle of the 1970s, the literary
  image of existentialism had become a cliché
  because of the infinite books and movies produced
  by Woody Allen. Because of this, existentialism
  was suggested to be a bygone cultural movement
  opposed to an individual philosophical point. In
  other words, they believed that the term
  existentialism should only be subjected to
  Sartres philosophy. However, the notion of
  existentialism does choose an idiosyncratic group
  of philosophical obstacles and helpfully
  categorizes a relatively distinct current of
  twentieth and twenty-first century philosophical
  investigation. This has had major impacts of
  theology and psychology. Ultimately, human beings
  cannot be fully understood through a series of
  sciences including physics, biology, psychology,
  and others. Subjects such as, blame,
  responsibility, character, duty, and virtue do
  capture essential features of the human condition
  but moral or scientific thinking are not adequate
  enough. Finally, existentialism is essential in
  grasping human subsistence. There is a need to
  find a new framework for the themes of dread,
  boredom, alienation, the absurd, freedom,
  commitment, and nothingness to discover their
  philosophical importance.
