A Conversation for Existentialism

This is my first attempt at manipulating data on this web site, and my time has been cut short so... The entry posted is just a copy of the entry that I picked up in the flea market section of h2g2.

My intention is to end up with an entry largely centered around Sartre's work particularly 'Being and Nothingness'(or B&N). Defining Existentialism as the belief that existence preceeds essence, thus excluding Heidegger, Keirkegard etc.

Their work shall still be discussed, as it is in the introduction of Sartre's B&N, to show how Sartre's philosophy developed from the inconsistencies of his predecessors' work.

What you say?

That would be a good idea, great start though, but you need to go more in depth with the ideas and principals.
