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.

ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
ON EXISTENTIALISM introduces the fundamental tenets of existentialism, focusing on the existentialist denial of the claim that the world is rationally structured. With reference to the seminal thinking of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, the book is divided into two main chapters, one focusing on existentialist ontology and the other on existentialist ethics.

THE WADSWORTH PHILOSOPHICAL TOPICS SERIES presents readers with concise, timely, and insightful introductions to a variety of traditional and contemporary philosophical subjects. With this series, students of philosophy will be able to discover the richness of philosophical inquiry across a wide array of concepts, including hallmark philosophical themes and themes typically underrepresented in mainstream philosophy publishing. Written by a distinguished list of scholars who have garnered particular recognition for their excellence in teaching, this series presents the vast sweep of today's philosophical exploration in highly accessible and affordable volumes. These books will prove valuable to philosophy teachers and their students as well as to other readers who share a general interest in philosophy.

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.

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?
