As far as modern man's existential dilemma, it is not something as simple as Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum. Existential dilemma spans all of written and oral history--we just haven't always had the words or the means to express the event. If we look at Wittgenstein's Gavagai theory of language and translation, we can see how existential dilemma could have occurred in the past--without a modern understanding of it.
To me, the dilemma is right now more of a social movement than a philosophical issue. Modern man has became obsessed with trends and fashions (including intellectual). It's "cool" to question our existence. We are currently in a philosophical void because we fear to question the television.
