The failed existential experiment.

Perhaps an important  event in the last century is the birth and death of existentialism.  It's birth was an inevitable consequence of the death of God.  But on what do we blame it death?

Existentialism tried to burst out of its negativist shell into a positive world and take a positive form.  As we know anything that takes positive form is inevitably subject to the degradation of existence. This is especially true if that existence is contingent on humanity; culturally, in this instance.  Anything that should take form must rely on solids and as any existentialist would know there are very few things that are solid.
