Thinking activity on Existentialism

Thinking activity on Existentialism

Here I am sharing the thoughts which I like the most in given videos on Existentialism.

Video-1

The first video gives basic understanding of Existentialism. It focuses on making triangle of freedom, passion and individuality which plays a very vital role in thinking of existentialism and also talks about philosophical suicide.

Video-2

In this Albert Camus talks about absurdity in life. We think suicide as the escapism from the absurdity of life. When we start to think about absurdity this idea of suicide comes in mind. But it is not a solution. Life is meaningless yet it is for living.

Video-3

When we kill our self as a philosopher it is called the philosophical suicide. It comes out from human being. If there is no human being, there won’t be any desire. All requirements like a total absence of hope, a continual reflection, conscious dissatisfaction should not be confused with despair, renunciation, immature unrest.

Video-4

In the Dadaism it’s primary goal is creation. There is no need to govern by the value of others. We must have to create our own values which have significance in our life. Dadaism and Nihilism both neglect the values which are imposed by other.

Video-5

Existentialist came with post war movement. At that time people were living in despair and their life was full with absurdity. Everyone is free to make their own choice and choose their own path but when the result comes in negative way. At that time also we have to be ready to face it. Being individual is not in actual sense connect with being narcissist.

Video-6

The difference between Existentialism and Nihilism is about subjectivity and objectivity.

Video-7

Existentialism raises questions like Why I am here? What is the meaning of life? It also talks about divine perspective and human perspective.  We can not find the meaning of life in divine perspective because it removes morality which is very important in human perspective.

Video-8

“Ubermensche” is a philosophy of freedom given by Friedrich Nietzsche. Humans are free to make their choice. There is no need to live life according to any supernatural power. Only we are the master of our life.

Video- 9

Existentialism is a very broad idea to understand the deeper meaning of life. Existentialism is not apply to the mind but also apply to the heart which is called existential sensibility. It means that as a mind wants to know the meaning of life heart also wants to enjoy or feel it.

Video-10

There is a difference between essentialism and existentialism. As a human being only after the birth we can decide our essence by our choice. The meaning of life is only given by us otherwise there is no meaning of life.

Which video I like the Most and Why?

From all these I like the last video. This video talks about how to live a life by making our own individual identity rather than to follow the ideas of others. From this video we can learn that to make our own path in this world is very important.
