None of the existential authors we considered this semester

Reference no: EM13526039

None of the existential authors we considered this semester (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Kundera) have given a substantive directive to the question 'what ought to be done?' Does the absence of any instrumental value attached to these philosophies render existentialist thinking meaningless? Are there values that are not instrumentalizable, and if so, how have at least two of the authors we have discussed addressed such values?
