The main founder of existentialism is ..................... .

  • A.William James
  • B.John Ruskin
  • C.Soren Kierkegaard
  • D.John Dewey

Answer: C

The founder of existentialism is Soren Kierkegaard.

The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is regarded as the father of existentialism. He stressed individual existence, freedom, choice and the anxiety of personal responsibility, themes later developed by Heidegger and Sartre.

William James and John Dewey are pragmatists, and John Ruskin was a Victorian art and social critic, so none of them founded existentialism.
