Existentialism

 Hello, readers

                       This blog is a part of Flipped Learning activity in which our task is to watch videos about Existentialism and write down whatever we understand.

  1.What is Existentialism?

Though existentialists differs in their views on Existentialism but in one or another way they share a basic belief of this term. From this video, I like that triangle idea of freedom, individuality, and passion which are the three sides of Existentialism. Along with it, the idea of philosophical suicide is quite interesting.

2.The Myth of Sisyphus : The Absurd Reasoning

Second video about the myth of Sisyphus; the Absurd Reasoning. taking about an absurd reasoning Comus starts this essay.
Absurd Reasoning there is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. he focuses on the matter of suicide. he shot himself on the Brooklyn bridge. he said it was the best artwork of the 19th century. life is filled with despair and absurdity and life is meaningless. life is the most urgent of questions." the silence of the heart ad is a great work of art. this video comparison with the movie "stay".

  3.  The notion of philosophical suicide

It’s worth watching the video to understand the concept of Philosophical suicide. . When we start to kill our own self as philosophers at that time it becomes Philosophical suicide. Why the absurdity takes place? It takes place because of the conflict between humans and the world. If there are no human beings, there would not be any desire. Without human beings, there should not be the question of absurdity. It can be said that absurdity is an ultimate reality of human life but at the same time for an absurd mind reason is useless and there is nothing beyond reasons. In this situation may our reliance be the ultimate solution of absurdity.

4.  Dadaism, Nihilism, and Existentialism :-

This video these are Dadaism, Nihilism, and Existentialism movement values and it deals with the movement. Dadaism is a quest for change new value and new path. Dadaism contents and value itself but it is against the value of Existentialism hence it essence with Nihilism. it was in 1916 that the Dada movement, and it is associated with Nihilism. The absurdity of life connected with Dadaism.
Dada + Art Movement = Nihilism
                           Dadaism a a way of becoming free of everything.

5.   Existentialism – a gloomy philosophy

Existentialism came after the second world war when the people tried to find the meaning in life among the gloominess of despair. Though life is full of anxiety, despair, and absurdity, we are free to give our own values to ourselves. But after following whatever we have chosen it’s become one’s own responsibility. The result should be either in favor or in against but escapism in a bad situation should not be there. Being an individual is also considered narcissistic but in actual it’s not true.

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

Existentialism is not said like nihilism say there is no meaning or purpose to life, but existentialism dealing with finding exist behind anything.
NIHILISM = THE LOSS OF INDIVIDUALITY (LEVELING)
             That the highest values devaluate themselves. nihilism is not a necessary characteristic of Existentialism. Existentialism dealing with one can create their own personal subjective meaning. nihilism dealing with this idea with no personal subjective meaning.
    7.Existentialist again!
Existentialists reject systems that propose to have to define answers to the questions of meaning and purpose in life. Generally, it questions human existence.

    8.Existentialism and Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, who gave the idea of "Ubermensche". is the philosophy for freedom. freedom of doing whatever human wants. as it says that no universal morality can make us individual or give us the meaning to life.

    9.Why I like Existentialism? Eric Dodson

Existentialism is a way of life and understands life deeply. Existentialism says about what I am Eric Dodson said that it is honest and shows the reality of life and accept your fault and your abilities.
 

10.From Essentialism to Existentialism:-

In this video, there is an example of an army man who wants to serve his mother and nation at the same time but it’s not possible to serve them at the same time. No one gives an answer to him as it’s a matter of individual choice. Because it is an individual choice to make their decision or follow the path suggested by others. There is no answer until we choose for ourselves. Individual meaning to our life is given by only us as well as a truly authentic decision can only be made by one's own moral code.

I like the video-8 "Explain Like I'm Five: Existentialism and Nietzsche that human beings have the power of everything it means human being can make their own rules and be a superman and he/she can do whatever they want.
Flipped learning is best to learn from anywhere, I like it most because it provides us content with appropriate pictures and signs so it would easy to understand the content.  through this learning, we can improve our listening skill from a native speaker and also we can improve our memory to remember the speaker's words and note down. And also we can learn how to pronounce spells. At last, I can say that we can learn from anywhere in our time through flipped learning.
