Existentialism to Post-Structuralism

Terry Eagleton suggests in his Terry Lectures ( Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate (The Terry Lectures Series) ) that existentialism “was for the most part an ontologically imposing way of saying that one was nineteen, far from home, feeling rather blue, and like a toddler in a play school hadn’t much of a clue as to what was going on.  A few decades later this condition persisted among late adolescents, but it was now known as post-structuralism.”
