Four men in the image
[edit]Given that Simone de Beauvoir was a major influence on existential thought it's strikingly odd to put 4 men in the image in the lead up to the subject. Macgroover (talk) 04:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- I second this and suggest de Beauvoir replace Dostoevsky. Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 03:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- I came here to suggest the same in relation to major global influences on this school of thought (e.g.,I wrote a small section on black existentialism). I would further recommend the image in question be removed until a more accurate and representative picture can be found. Otherwise let us leave it blank and rather link to individual pages - non representation should never be a lazy default, especially since it is misleading and inaccurate.

- Agreed – I added a new version with Dostoevsky replaced by de Beauvoir. It uses {{Multiple image}}, since I couldn't be bothered to make a proper collage myself. Not sure if there's any disadvantage to doing it this way. Jhvx (talk) 13:03, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Good.The page needs to diversify; it is too narrowly focused on European thought. This page is about 'Existentialism', not 'European Existentialism'. Archaeoknowlogy (talk) 14:02, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Why Beauvior to replace Dostoevskij instead of Sartre? I think French are overrepresented 151.57.134.52 (talk) 02:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

- Can't we have 5 person or more instead? Removing Dostoevsky is a bad idea. Nawtan (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Leopardi
[edit]Giacomo Leopardi was 19th, not 20th century... looks like he got added late to this list at some point? 185.104.139.72 (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
