Book Description
Standing amongst the ever evolving population and wondering how our influences take on the reality we so highly construct and believe, if to denote each infinitesimal property is applicable in the notion it was created, from us, as contemplation abstractly enforces a deeper sense of solipsistic existentialism and mental-solitude. We stand here, as a sentient, architectonic of how the consciousness of thought is pre-programmed and monopolized into the point of this endeavoring struggle to break free from technological anesthetization; for the mind in repetition is mechanical. This book will concisely describe how religious canon fundamentally colonized its application as a 'divine-embodiment' characterizing many displays of the supposedly 'human-condition enterprise' as many vital aspects unfold metaphorical paradoxes in each recycled tradition and contrived paradigms while this cultural ideology enforces amalgamation unto the world of indirect totalitarianism. If humanity is autonomous in nature, and rationality develops into precocious inquisitiveness, does not uniformity inhibit individual growth by imposing as antithesis over the impetuous of self-introspecting evolution on our own terms? Do we have an identity of our own, and if so, is it 'perceived or received' as to how you and I become or just exists in a vast experiment we call 'the grouping of social-rolls' and a 'contextualization of relative thought in society's grand schematization? This Epistemology on interpretive Existentialism approaches an exciting and formidable outlook on the 'scope and reliability' of human knowledge and human advancement of the indiviual in a 16 chapter philosophical odyssey into the unknown wholeof humanistic freedom.

Sartre and the International Impact of Existentialism
Author: Alfred Betschart
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030384829
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This edited collection re-examines the global impact of Sartre’s philosophy from 1944-68. From his emergence as an eminent philosopher, dramatist, and novelist, to becoming the ‘world’s conscience’ through his political commitment, Jean-Paul Sartre shaped the mind-set of a generation, influencing writers and thinkers both in France and far beyond. Exploring the presence of existentialism in literature, theatre, philosophy, politics, psychology and film, the contributors seek to discover what made Sartre’s philosophy so successful outside of France. With twenty diverse chapters encompassing the US, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and Latin America, the volume analyses the dissemination of existentialism through literary periodicals, plays, universities and libraries around the world, as well as the substantial challenges it faced. The global post-war surge of existentialism left permanent traces in history, exerting considerable influence on our way of life in its quest for authenticity and freedom. This timely and compelling volume revives the path taken by a philosophical movement that continues to contribute to the anti-discrimination politics of today.

Existential America
Author: George Cotkin
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801882005
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
"As Cotkin shows, not only did Americans readily take to existentialism, but they were already heirs to a rich tradition of thinkers - from Jonathan Edwards and Herman Melville to Emily Dickinson and William James - who had wrestled with the problems of existence and the contingency of the world long before Sartre and his colleagues. After introducing the concept of an American existential tradition, Cotkin examines how formal existentialism first arrived in America in the 1930s through discussion of Kierkegaard and the early vogue among New York intellectuals for the works of Sartre, Beauvoir, and Camus.

Existentialism: A Philosophical Inquiry
Author: Joel Smith
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000590070
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Existentialism asks some of the most fundamental questions about human existence: What gives our lives meaning and value? What is it to choose freely? How do I live an authentic life? How should I relate to myself and to others? In this book Joel Smith introduces and assesses the arguments and controversies surrounding these questions in an engaging way, providing a superb introduction to this important and perennial philosophical subject. Connecting existentialist themes with contemporary questions in ethics, philosophy of action, and the emotions, he brings existentialism to life. He does so by focusing on a set of distinctively existentialist questions and themes, including race and gender, whilst at the same time engaging with the classic existentialist texts from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Fanon and others. The book is organised clearly around the following key topics: Life Subjectivity Meaning Freedom Angst Bad Faith Alienation Gender Race Authenticity Including chapter summaries and annotated further reading, Existentialism: A Philosophical Inquiry is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in this fascinating and important subject, in Philosophy as well as related disciplines such as Literature and Religion.

The Cambridge Companion to Existentialism
Author: Steven Crowell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107493846
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
Existentialism exerts a continuing fascination on students of philosophy and general readers. As a philosophical phenomenon, though, it is often poorly understood, as a form of radical subjectivism that turns its back on reason and argumentation and possesses all the liabilities of philosophical idealism but without any idealistic conceptual clarity. In this volume of original essays, the first to be devoted exclusively to existentialism in over forty years, a team of distinguished commentators discuss the ideas of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Beauvoir and show how their focus on existence provides a compelling perspective on contemporary issues in moral psychology and philosophy of mind, language and history. A further sequence of chapters examines the influence of existential ideas beyond philosophy, in literature, religion, politics and psychiatry. The volume offers a rich and comprehensive assessment of the continuing vitality of existentialism as a philosophical movement and a cultural phenomenon.
