Individuality and solitude linked, staying away from the crowd. Authentic. Not tied to a school

Kierkegaard - can be Christian (at-one-ment) and individual (of faith outside the ethical)
Neitzche - with god means not alone fully. Not fully individual

Existentialism against positivism (modelling on science). Argued to closer to philosophy and literature. Death of ivan ilych (dostyvoeksey) as an influence.

Existentialism - this life experience as a staritng point for philosophy, that's why freud is not one.

Existentialist secretly moralists (away from the crowd).

Kirkegaard - reading into church doctrine and bringing his own ideas from this. Presocratics and Heidegger too. (A way to link to others, but also bad faith, a form of inauthenticity, supported with authority of something else).
