L'Être et le Néant
The atheistic existentialist movement spread in 1940s France. Jean-Paul Sartre's "Being and Nothingness" and Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" discussed the topic. Camus wrote further works, such as "The Stranger", "Caligula", "The Plague", "The Fall" and "The Rebel". Other figures include Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida. In addition, Ernest Becker's Pulitzer Prize-winning life's work "The Denial of Death" is a collection of thoughts on existential nihilism.
