; Existential Landmarks
: '''The Death of God (Nietzsche)''' → Not a statement of fact, but a "Warning" that society had lost its foundation for morality and must now build a new one.
: '''The Second Sex''' → "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." The idea that "Gender" is a social essence that we can choose to change.
: '''1940s Paris''' → The "Golden Age" of existentialism, where philosophers sat in cafes (like Café de Flore) and wrote the books that defined the modern world.
: '''Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)''' → A psychiatrist who survived the Holocaust by using existentialism to find "Meaning" in his suffering.
