Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom and choice, and the inherent meaninglessness of life. It holds that individuals must create their own meaning in life, as there is no inherent meaning in the universe. The philosophy also stresses the importance of personal responsibility and the human condition. It was popularized by philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche.
Existentialism emphasizes action, freedom, and decision as fundamental to human existence; and is fundamentally opposed to the rationalist tradition and to positivism. That is, it argues against definitions of human beings as primarily rational.a person who believes in philosophy according to which the world has no meaning and each person is alone and completely responsible for his or her own actions: He's a pessimistic existentialist. The existentialists have something to tell us about taking charge of our own future. See. An example of an existential play would be the movie "I Heart Huckabees." In this movie, a character uses a blanket to symbolize the universe and each part of the blanket is a person or thing.For his emphasis on individual existence—particularly religious existence—as a constant process of becoming and for his invocation of the associated concepts of authenticity, commitment, responsibility, anxiety, and dread, Søren Kierkegaard is generally considered the father of existentialism.

Existentialism is a philosophical and literary movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and, choice. It originated in the mid-to-late 19th century but reached its peak in France in the mid-20th century. The term existentialism was coined by the Danish theologian and philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. Soren was an existentialist philosopher. Kierkegaard was a philosopher, religious writer, satirist, psychologist, journalist, and literary critic, generally regarded as the "father" of existentialism. Existentialism is a philosophical and literary movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice. It originated in the mid-to-late 19th century but reached its peak in France in the mid-20th century. Another father of this movement, who resembled Kierkegaard in his rebellion against Luther and Hegel, created the opposite existentialism, atheistic existentialism, which continues to this day. was Nietzsche. While philosophers such as Soren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Friedrich Nietzsche questioned essentialism in the nineteenth century, existentialism emerged in the mid-twentieth century after the horrific events of World War II - Popularized by Paul Sartre.

This video deals with Albert Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus and Absurd Reasoning. He begins with, "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." for Camus, suicide is an individual Act. When we feel absurd and despair about things which have no meaning, we might commit suicide. Camus noticed that many people died because they felt that their life is not worth living. The relation between an individual and suicide which considered ART. Further, the narrator of the video mentioned the Movie, STAY. The protagonist said it was the best artwork of the 19th century. The phrase from the movie like "An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art"Further very interesting part of the video comes about divorce-life and love death. Once one discovers that life is absurd the question that Dose this absurdity require one to escape it through Hope or Suicide? Camus said that "In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments." And Is there a logic or the point of death? He suggests that I cannot know unless I pursue without reckless passion in the sole light of the evidence, the reasoning of which I am here suggesting the source. This is what I call Absurd Reasoning."

This video deals with The Myth of Sisyphus: the notion of philosophical suicide Absurd in detail. The narrator said that the absurd is neither in man nor in the world. It can only occur in their presence together. Most people do not feel hesitate to reflect. We need to confront the problem of the absurd and struggle with it which implies in the total absence of hope, continual rejection, and conscious disdissatisfactionIn absurd mind, reason is useless and there is nothing beyond reasoner Kierkegaard, faith is the solution to the absurd, but in Camus's statements, we can see that it is Escapism. The leap considered that believing within

This video deals with the two movements and their differences, and also explains how Dadaism is just like Existentialism. Most people believe that Dadaism is associated with nihilism. But in reality, it is not. The main goal of Dadaism is not to create creation but to always question all values. It's an art movement. Dadaism is a way to free yourself from everything, a chance to create your own value. Nihilism and Dadaism are not the same. Dada is the answer to World War I, just as existentialism is the answer to World War II.

Why was existentialism considered a dark philosophy? Words such as fear, absurdity, and despair may be subject to debate at the deeper levels of life. The solution is to believe in God, find the truth that is true for you, and live a foolish life. Existentialism is also a narcissistic philosophy. Existentialism is the answer to the post-war emptiness. Existentialism is not the same as nihilism.

According to Kierkegaard, all existentialists have fought nihilism. He explains that nihilism is defined as the that introduces loss of individuality. For Nietzsche, these are the highest values devalue oneself. Emile Cioran accepts life passively, and this position can be described as "nihilistic approval".It is passivity that keeps a person from committing suicide. He feels that every suicide has a responsibility to fight the temptation to commit suicide. Rejecting the rebellion, he wrote: When Camus was writing The Myth of Sisyphus, he argued why the only correct answer to the absurdity of life is rebellion.

This video introduces existentialism inmora e broadlyThis movement or term is quite difficult to explain as well tornderstand. Existentialism is not a classical system nor a set of doctrines. It is best to the classified it as a philosophical movement which began in 19th century in Europe. Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche ofteespeciallythe father of this movement. Existentialism became especially prominent in the mid-20th century and specially after world war two. Existentia alists are all concerned with the problem of living life as a human but take some serious questions inmeanhuman condition that Why am I here? What rejecmeanns to that man? How should I live my life? They rejects systems which propose to have definitive answers to the questions of ma eaning and purpose in life. However, Christianity has been the most d ominproblemencompthe assing system in the history ofthe west.The problems with All-Encompassing system is that, they do not adequately take into account what it is like to be human. Such systems lose sight of the human perspective on life. TTheherthere also some divdivinebetwthe eebeenivine perspective and Human perspective. Divine perspective often comes with a beliwas ef in immortality. "Existence precedes Essence " this idea put forth by Jean-Paul Sartre in a 1945 lecture titled, "Is Existhe tentialism a Humanism"
The concept of Essence comes from Greek philosopher Aristotle. He believes that "Every substance or in other words every independent thing be it a person a rock or a tree has asubstances" Aristotle had a teleological view of nature-all substance in nature tend towards human actualization of their essence. The nature (nature) of human was acting in faccordancerdan with reason. Those who see humans as beings designed by a God also hold that our essence precedesistence. Another hand Sartre that our existence is precedes. For him, humans are fundamentally different from things like cars,watches, or phones. Aina tAinat Sartre did not believe humans were "designed".I the conclusion, with the differences between Existentialism and Nihilism. Nihilism is no meaning or purpose to life and it is not a necessary characteristic of Existentialism.

In this video, two teachers teach children about existentialism and nanAnandriedrich Nietzsche. It explains why parents and teachers set certain rules and values why they do them. We can make our own rules and values for our lives. Did you ask a very simple question why your mother ordered you tocltocleanm? It's your own room and it's your own choice to make it clear.We There is no one universal morality that governs everyone. Deciding what is good and what is bad is part of what Nietzsche called Superman.

The video begins with questions like: What gives your life meaning? God? Love? money? jobs? The narrator of this video talked about ow a sense of purpose is something we all crave and perhaps even need.How can we find meaning in life?Through religion, education, social justice, etc. . A very striking example was given by the speaker that a knife could have a wooden handle or a metal die. It doesn't really matter, but it's not a knife without a blade.Here the blade is an essential quality given by the worker. Ancient philosophers believed that everything, including us, has an essence and that our essence existed before we were born. This essence gives us purpose to live in a certain way. This philosophy is called essentialism. However, the emergence of modern philosophies, they imply that our existence precedes our essence. I can say The significance of existence that appeared at the end of the 19th century is absurd. After World War II, no one in the West could find the meaning of life, and it is called the meaninglessness and meaninglessness of life, which Camus called the ability. There is also a conflict between freedom and authority. I have. We find freedom through governments, religions, societies, or whoever we think fulfills our need to be free. But we are the only ones free from need. As Camus put it, it is called "true freedom."
I like this video Because through it, I am experiencing something very important, the Essence, and I am trying to find out what Essence I have put into my life and what I will put into it.
1] How an ‘Elegant Sucide’ is work of art?
2] In the third video it is said that, excepting the god, there are many other ways of leaping from absurdity, which are those ways?
