The last chapter of existentialism

Abstract

The title that heads this small essay of philosophical digression, “The last chapter of existentialism”, is not an attempt to correct and complete the multifaceted philosophy of certain existentialists, not all, but quite a few, who are lost in the solitude they have fabricated for themselves. Our work is something simpler and more serious, less rambling and more theological than philosophical. It has occurred to us to take advantage of a text of St. Paul that affirms the opposite of the nihilistic defeatism of unbelief. The word of St. Paul is the exaltation of faith and the exaltation of the triumph that receives the deserved reward. It is the glory of reason that is resurrected after having been immolated in the crucifixion of faith.
