Video 1 : What is Existentialism
Video contains the meaning of existentialism basically. It shows that
Existentialism is mainly popular among young people mostly because it touches these subjects which a person his or her views like be struggling with this faces whose attention among they are attractive through are subjects like suicide, anguish, absurdity, passion, imotion, death, freedom or even this pain .
Video:2 The Myth of Sisyphus: The Absurd Reasoning
Camus writes that : "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide ." Right from the beginning he continues that " I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living . I therefore conclude that the meaning of questions, for Camus suicide is an individual act, he says we are concerned here are their self with the relationship which an individual thought and suicide an act like this is prepared with in the silence of the heart as this is a great work of art . The speaker reminds The movie
"Stay" in which you run across existence like this.
"How did he kill himself ?" He shoots himself on the Brooklyn bridge. He said it was the best artwork of the 19th century. "An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art."
By Camus - " I truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgements."
So, there is a vital question to be asked here , "is there logic to the point of death ?" And he answers:
" I cannot know unless I pursue without necklace passion,in the sole right of evidence, the reasoning of which I am here struggling with the source- this is what I call an absurd reasoning.
Also Camus answered " to the absurdity of life isn't suicide."
Video:3 The Myth of Sisyphus: The notion of philosophical suicide
If there were no human beings then there who then be any desires or being imparticular the human nostalgia to be satisfied, this is where we get to"philosophical suicide" the notion of philosophical suicide was what make the speaker falls in love with Camus when he was 16th . Because it's one thing to recognise the absurd and it's quite another to embracing then except it's consciousness, most people join even hesitate to reflect upon life.
ABSURD+FAITH=ESCAPISM
Faith is the solution of the absurd. Infact this is how he himself defines faith -
"faith is the objective uncertainty with the repulsion of the absurd." - Kierkegaard
Video:4 Dadaism , Nihilism and Existentialism:
It was in 1916 that the "Dada" movement arose when World war ran. For most people "Dadaism" is associated with Nihilism but the speaker should say "NO" to that.
" How can one get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinked , moralistic, Europeanised, enervated? - by saying "Dada".
So, here is offer in Dadaism as a way of becoming free of everything, here is your own values , he is seeking for a world war that belongs to his he rights, " I don't want words that other people have invented."
So , we concluded on this that Dadaism and Nihilism have nothing to do with each other, both are fed up with everyday life and that's where the similarities stop. Dadaism was an existential or a Nihilistic moment; it was only a response to world war run, just as an Existentialism was a response to world war.
Video: 5 Existentialism- A gloomy Philosophy
Existentialism is often accused of being a gloomy Philosophy , while there is a truth to this claim you must look at the whole picture , why is existentialism thought of as a gloomy Philosophy ? Because notions such as anxiety , despair , absurdity , never seem to live in our argument.
Most importantly it is , " you should judge and choose your own meaning in life and once you have done that you should take responsibility for the choice you have made and accept the consciousness of it.
" Mirror and Mirror on the wall who's the prettiest philosophical movement of them all ." - EXISTENTIALISM
Another misconception that are here very often as that existentialism is a narcissist philosophy
"Being an individual doesn't mean that you are a " narcissist " .
Video:6 Existentialism and Nihilism is it one and the same ?
Are existentialism and Nihilism the same thing ? = NO
Existentialists has falls against Nihilism one way or another for Kierkegaard , " Nihilism can be defined as the loss of individuality and his whole philosophical projects can be summed up as an affirmed prompt subjectivity
In contrast to this attitude Camus wrote the rebel to argue , why rebellion is the absurdity of life ?
Video:7 Let us introduce Existentialism again !
Introduction to Existentialism:
" Existentialist thinkers over the last few centuries have created some of the greatest works of philosophy and literature ."
Existentialism is not a philosophical system nor should it even be viewed as a set of doctrines rather it is probably best classified as a philosophical movement as a movement existentialism arose in 19th century Europe "Sore Kierkegaard" and " Friedrich Nietzsche" are often characterized as the founding fathers of the movement with the 19th century Russian author " Fyodor Dostoevsky " also considered one of its original giants . While the modern roots of existentialism are found in the 19th century
" What ties those in the existentialist movement together ? "
One answer to this question is that those in the existentialist moment whether past or present ? All shall a deep concern in one way or another with what they consider to be a monumental problem that being the problem of life as a human being as existentialists all share a common concern with what some have termed the human condition.
The ' Human condition '

What does it mean to be human?
How should I live my life ?
Aristotle believed that every substance or in other words every word every independent thing be is a person, a rock or a tree has an essence . The essence of a substance is also sometimes referred to as its nature and can be seen as necessary properties or characteristics which are essential for the thing to be what it is ?
Aristotle had a teleological or goal - oriented view of nature as he believed that all substances in nature, tend towards the actualization of their essence.
So for example on "acorn" 🌰 has a tendency to develop into its essence as a full - grown Oak tree 🌲.
That's the way in terms of humans Aristotle saw our nature or essence as acting in full accordance with reason and it was this idea which influenced Scholastic philosophers in the middle ages . To come up with the new commonly used definition of man as the rational animal , Aristotle believed that humans unlike inanimate matter and other animals were free to choose whether or not to act in accordance with their essence , however that the being said he did not believe humans could create their own unique essence during the course of their lives .

The video opens with…

You might have your own personal sense of purpose in your life , or Maybe you are hoping this course will help you find one . Or you might believe that you were created with a certain essence as a human being , with a purpose given to you by God .
After it ," the important thing is that your essence gives you a purpose… because you were born to be a certain thing ." - This belief is known as Essentialism.
It's important to note that " Existentialism is not synonymous with atheism. " Plenty of Existentialists are atheists , but some are theists like Kierkegaard.
For Existentialists , absurdity is a technical term.
Its how they describe the search for answers in an answerless world.
" A lot of people think existentialism paints a pretty bleak picture of the world ."
In Fact the the French philosopher and novelist Albert Camus went so far as to say that , " the literal meaning of life is whatever you are doing that prevents you from killing yourself.
So, concluding with a worldview that looks bleak to some , may to others seem almost exhilarating .
