What is the solution to human angst and nothingness, the gnawing emptiness and frustration with the limits and fragility of this present existence? After reviewing the work of Sren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Jean Paul Sartre on this question, this work argues that the proper response must be metaphysical metanarrative, a transcendent metaphysical metanarrative that is the ground of all that is, yet a metaphysical metanarrative that makes the fullness of meaning available and apprehensible in physical experience. This metanarrative, this work asserts, is the logos, the ultimate referent principle of the ancient Greeks and, according to Christianity, the God-man Jesus Christ, and the eternal become present in present experience. Because the logos constitutes transcendence in human form, it recognizes the beauty of existential experience even as it underscores the necessity of transcendence for temporal meaning. The logos as metaphysical metanarrative brings the worlds of time and eternity together, linking earth and the beyond in a seamless whole. It is the ultimate existential experience.
