Basics of Existentialism and Abusrdism
EXISTENTIALISM -one major theme: a stress on individual existence and, consequently, on subjectivity, individual freedom, and choice. -rational clarity is desirable wherever possible but that life's most important questions are not accessible to reason or science. -Freedom of choice - must accept the risk and responsibility of their actions -addresses transcendence and the limits of human experience, as well as a personal sense of authenticity and commitment
ABSURDISM -Albert Camus -Absurdity is a feeling which arises from the confrontation of the world, which is irrational, with the hopeless but profound human desire to make sense of our condition. -From a lucid appreciation of the absurdity of our life three consequences flow, which Camus calls revolt, freedom and passion
EXISTENCE -In choosing oneself one does not choose to exist: existence is given and one has to exist in order to choose. -Existence precedes and commands essence- Sartre
Sonny, Amrita, Allison, Gabby, Aileen
