These are existentialists, as differentiated 
from philosophers, in that they don't try to 
find the argument, but present the experience 
of that which cannot be explained.
Comes the quote:
"Men can embody truth, but they cannot know it."
And my question: Why?

I am a philosopher, accordingly. And my goal is 
to understand that which the existentialists 
are talking about. Could I combine the two? 
Why so? Why not? Can existentialism be used 
to explain philosophy? The reverse?
