World War period though it has its roots in the 19th century writings and ideas of Soren Kierkeggard and Nielzsche,
respectively the Danish theologian and the German philosopher. Kierkeggrd had voiced against the evils of the
materialistic approach of the Western and thought man as a slave of the machine age. Frederich Nielzsche stood
against the social, moral and questioned about the ethnical values regarding the existence of god. Both marched at
two direction with a flag of revolt: the Atheistic and the Theistic. The Atheistic approach believed in the ability of
man to decorate and carve life out of the situations he encounters. While the Theist man moves ahead by believing in
the existence of god. The impact of Existentialism was echoed in the mid 20th century in France and Germany ;by
paving the seeds and creating a fertile land for Jean Paul Sartre ;by Martin Heidegger and Karl Yaspers. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Vinodkumar P. Chaudhari, (2013).
