Existentialism




1) What is Existentialism?
   
 In this video information about Existentialism and how their thoughts different from each other like Je Suis Philosophical thinker but he is not considered as the first thinker when Kierkegaard consider as first Existentialist. Furthermore thinker like Nietzsche, Dostoyesky, Kafka, Heidegger, Shestove, Hesse and Sartre companion Beauvoir. All given different view, they view basic on individuality with passion and freedom. Existentialist ask questions against what are the belief of the people and how it effect in person life. For example people believing God it like suicide. Existentialist broken God image we haven’t proof of God exist , it is nothing and meaningless thought to believing none exist thing.


2) Video- 2, 3 The myth of Sisyphus:- The Absurd Reasoning-

In this video Albert Camus view ‘There is but one truly serious philosophicaexist,em, and that is suicide. His views that individuals should embrace the absurd condition of human existence while also defiantly continuing to explore, and search for meaning. Death is mistress and life is absurdity most person control living upon this two judgment Hope and suicide. Life is meaningless in that case let's Jump off the balcony. In truth, there is not a necessary common measure between these notion of philosophical suicide –
In this video discuss what is philosophical suicide? There can be not outside of human mind lost everything then feeling absurdity, human felt a total absence of hope and continual rejection conscious dissatisfied thing about suicide. Some of people are believe God philosophy of reasoning because of these religious beliefs, they thought faith is the solution of the absurd life so Camus rejected their judgment and he said this judgment direct us to philosophical suicide.

3) Video -4. Dadaism, Nihilism and Existentialism –
In this video these are Dadaism, Nihilism and Existentialism movement value and it deals behind the movement. As like Dadaism is quest of change new value and new path. Dadaism didn’t contents and values itself but it is against the value of Existentialist hence it essence with Nihilism. Previously Dadaism was world war two movement when existentialism may be given to this movement. Dadaism movement is come crossed to Nihilism. It is question of objection of exist values. Other things in this vide we can observe argue of three movement for example Existentialism don’t respond to Nihilism and Dadaism and Nihilism has nothing to do each other Nihilism movement was respond to world war one when existentialism was respond to world war two.

Video -5. Existentialism - a gloomy philosophy-

In this video Existentialism called Gloomy philosophy and then discussion about why it can be called Gloomy Philosophy? Because it doesn’t dealing with like anxiety and despair. For example some of believe in God that is one person true but other can find their own meaning of own life.

Video -6. Existentialism and Nihilism: Is it one and the same?

Existentialism is not say like Nihilism say there is no meaning or purpose to life, but existentialism dealing with finding exist behind anything. Nihilism is not a necessary characteristics of Existentialism. Existentialism dealing with one can create their own personal subjective meaning. While Nihilism dealing with this idea no personal subjective meaning.

Video - 7. Let us introduce Existentialism –

In this video information about history of exist and examine what for Existentialist is the key concern of philosophy. And examine sartre’s famous statement – “Existence precedes essence” with various example. Most notable thing is cleverly define difference between Existentialism and Nihilism.

Video 8: Explain like I'm Five: Existentialism and Nietzsche:

Existentialism idea is not easy to learn because his philosophical idea is different to understand and have differently to connect our daily life. But in this video I see how teachers teaching Nietzsche ideas and explain Existentialism.


Video 9: Why I like Existentialism? Eric Dodson

In this video Dodson said about his opinion how existentialism change life overview of the person. How existentialism has affected in his everyday life. And given ideas about how holism and rebellion arising when existentialist dealing with exist ideas. Because existentialist have more probability to answer against rebellion. Dodson share his own experience how he sees every day life in different way. I like most this quote which he explained well –
“We have popular truth suffering something life essentially asking us to experience.”
“ Learning is a gift. Even when pain Is your Teacher”.
“ Pain is not my enemy, It is my call To Greatness”.
         H.Rollins
And other thing he suggest ten things to live more existentially.
These are ten thing noted image

Video 10: Let us sum up: From Essentialism to Existentialism

This video start with some of the reasoning which most people believe as blindly they don’t know about believe behind what is reality. What gives your life meaning? How we understanding life as being meaningful ?
Most of the people finding meaning their life through religion, social justice, education and artistic expression. While Existentialist say these moral don’t give life real meaning but it is kind of burden for life.
And given ideas about existential by Plato, Aristotle, Sartre.

Which video you like the most? Why?
I like most video seven and ten because this video clearly give ideas about existentialism that why I like more than others.


How would you describe 'learning outcome' about this activity?
I would like to say this best process for learning, we can learn anyway and without teacher we can learn lot of thing in various perspective .

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party In roduction:- Two of the notable facts about Harold Pinter were, first , that he was a Jew, born of Jewish parents, and , second, that he worked as an actor for some time before he became a playwright. Pinter was born on the 10 th October, 1930 in   Hackney , a London borough. By the time of his birth the Jewish population of North London had risen from about 5000 in 1880 to about 40,000. The North London Jewry was known for its solid middle class respectability and religious conformity. In view of the economic insecurity which the family felt, Pinter’s father worked very hard, working twelve hours a day, making clothes. Eventually, however the old man lost his business and had to work for somebody else. Pinter never forgot this situation in his early life – the combination of calm and unrest beauty and ugliness; and these qualities permeate his work. Personal history had deeply influenced all Pinter’s writing.
