existentialism - much simpler than i thought, it appears to be something along the line of - this is it.
I can see how it came to be regarded as a somewhat detached and intense thing to base your life on.
in some ways it breaks down the barriers between the internal and the external reality, it's not a surprise it never took off in a big way as a lot of people just couldn't do that.
@GreyElitist ...you forgot -in the kitchen with her panties 1/2 off her ass as she bends over to get my pie out the oven ---OF COURSE IM JUST kiddn... "WOMENs are peepless two" u go girl" REALLY --GO! kddn... am I am....
The physical laws of the physical universe are significant for personal responsibility, often even determinative, imho. An absurd world is one in which all the creatures are happiest when going about devouring each other. Literally. Within this cruel context, the most responsible person is the one who efficiently hunts and devours the most for the most. That may be absurd but it is not without its own built in paradigm of responsibility. Just an example, not my paradigm. Good work, thanks.
Anyone who's ever been on a college campus can tell you it's shocking how fucking rock-hard stupid you can be and still get a degree from somewhere. "That's soooo existential." Whoever said that has no business even thinking about philosophy.
OTOH, if you don't consider yourself an existentialist 'enough to call [yourself] one,' oughtn't you stop calling yourself one? (That is, your username.)
Interesting philosophical idea to think about, but I think such thoughts are another excuse to "reason-out" the notion of the existence of God. We humans make things so complicated...With God in mind, we may be allowed to think freely, yet we aren't really in control of our lives as we might like to be. So philosophies such as these make me wonder if they are borne from mere rebellious dispositions.
@lslewis Ahh yes and how easy it is to offload the weight of critical inquiry by believing in that which requires not thought or criticism. When you say freely to me it means naivety, It's not meant to be easy to grapple with these philosophical notions because they can never be truly answered.
"Rebellious dispositions"? Questioning the state of nature and the human mind is a step away from pure anarchy if you ask me, the audacity of people to actually think!
@OblivionContinueum Generally having no problem with thinking, I checked out this particular one, but some trains of thought lead can lead more to worry than any clarity. Better not depend entirely on oneself and mankind, simply because we're too imperfect. That's what I think.
@lslewis Yeah I see your point if you mean in an ignorance is bliss (If not no patronization intended) sort of way but delving into these topics is interesting not worrying that's why people enjoy philosophy. Of course observing the self is hard because we're using our mind to look at our mind, it's not going to be a perfect process we can only use the scientific method to try to reduce this human error, I agree. However to me there is no one else to rely on.
Oh and yes we are absolutely pointless, the only reason we live is because it's against the virus way to kill itself. Only reproducing and expanding. Babies are "cute" because we are meant to take care of them so that one day they can have their own kids. Oh and one more thing, saying one's this and one's that does NOT make you sounds intelligent. It makes you sound stoned

Existentialism as a concept without a proper title is always there in history in conflict with more ROMANTIC Philosophical Interpretations of the basis of reality. However, if I may pick put the thread during the 17th century, then from there and through the Enlightenment , then the age of Romantics, then the High Romantic Victorians and Edwardian s, to the post war modernism of the 20th century , then one can see the perspective gaining ground as a trend , and all the arguments against it.
The picture and the frame. The heart and the mind. The law gives order but it does not warm or inspire. We have myths to live our lives by. They are useful lies. As in you live your life responsible for your own choices, and ONLY get judged after you die. If GOD exists, then this is why he seems indifferent. Also, since god could not be here, we are here for him. It is an impulse of GROUP we engendered after millennium of being pray animals.
We are living in the material world. We Exist there. But then we create meaning out of our own resources. A priori experience leads to enlightenment. How should we live in the world? Too in fear of the divine power? Or take responsibility ? Sure the universe is a cold and indifferent place, but we are alive and social. The physical is a order that is different from the bio, or social, or intellectual, or creative. So, it has it's own order of values.
Plato said there is a realm of perfect forms or qualitative essences that precedes the physical world. In Existentialism Existence precedes essence. Try the word Existence- ism. Is the afterlife more real than the current life? Study living in a POSITIVIST way.
being real. we're animals albeit clever so do whatever feels good. and that doesnt mean just getting drunk and going on rollercoasters all the time and getting the hottest girl one night. it's all about learning because then you get a higher understanding which leads to higher actions.what you're doing now in this video is the answer to your question. you have an ends which is some sort of learning (philosophically) and your means is speaking about in the video and getting others to talk aboutit
I really find this super interesting. I'm not sure if it's the same thing..but i'm really fascinated with why people do the things they do and what motivates them and what about the brain makes one do something, or feel the need to do something.
People write books upon books. Think until their brains implode. Searching for the answer. The meaning of everything. In the end, they find four words to sum up their knowledge.
existentialism is about finding the meaning of life. if you find the meaning of life then that means that life has a meaning. its very hard to do so. it takes alot of pain and suffering through your life just to understand why people are the way they are. once you find it you cant lose it. its in your face and is undeniable. most people really dont understand what its about.
"The physical laws of the physical universe don't have anything to do with personal responsibility" is a quite remarkable statement. Since this certainly isn't a widespread belief I would suggest that you motivate this premiss with something other than saying "that's just my opinon" as if you opinion were mere words with no reason to back it up whatsoever.
These Questions and curiosity are rooted and hardwired in the conscious brain. The body is capable of many conscious ability. The more we step out and transform our thinking and listen to the rest of the body and cells.The answers reveals.
Please give this some serious thought. Consider that Jesus was the premiere existentialist of his era. It was his mission to break the religious hypocrisy that existed back then with all it's traditions and pointed out, to all, that they can have a personal relationship with God as they come to know and understand him personally. As existentialist we encourage people to seek their own path as well with respect to how they come to personally understand God. So a christian existentialist can exist
POSSIBILIANISM last night..exciting about it>>.....////////////// Neuroscientist and best-selling author David Eagleman introduces the concept of Possibilianism, a new philosophy that simultaneously embraces a scientific toolbox while exploring new, unconsidered uncertainties about the world around us.
Though "existence precedes essence" and "absurdity" are important concepts, I tend to think that existentialism as a philosophy actually begins with the question: how does one become an individual?
It is Fake Writing. This is 19th century European Philosophy that came from the 18th Century. It should only be taught at few colleges. Any further teaching beyond that is prohibited. There is no benefit in teaching this stuff. The Department of Education needs to do a better job at regulating what is taught at colleges and universities. Too much balgony. I remember the Cal State Hayward Days where Campus Life was filled with cheer. We need to bring those days back.
This reminds me of where I was at a few years back when I was just beginning to study philosophy. Sorry if this comes across as patronizing, haha Honestly though it isnt my intention... like I said this post reminded me of where I was at.
I believe that you have limited "existentialism" to a raw philisophic form that stands alone. In reality it can be made compatible to so many different personal philosophies. I think when someone can apply it into their own lives, it becomes more relevant.
Lastly, my one beef with hedonism is that the neurotransmitters packed in our brains are means to an end. Remember that we have an evolutionary history, and as such our sense of pleasure may be linked to necessities which aided our survival & reproduction. Such needs may've been difficult to come by at some point in time, and thus our bodies would prioritize in getting as many of them as possible (food for example). now that such scarcity is not a factor, our instincts may not be as reliable.
You mention the seeming contradictory notion of encouraging others to think for themselves. It is almost like saying "Don't listen to a word I'm saying!" though it may seem as if the intention of encouraging people to think for themselves is a direct command to disagree with you that is only a 1st reaction.
Instead, all you're proposing is that people make decisions based on their own critical analysis by means of critical thinking which may lead the person to either agree or disagree with you.
one can exist without being something. therefore you can have the most intelligent or adecuate properties in your conciousness. Howeve,r the girl in the video makes a mistake saying that emptyness cannot influence that which is. Of course it can, it may use certain devices with essence, but it can certainly affect, destroy, cuestion or trasform the world, with the impulse of something which is not existing or not real, creating the fennomena of perception and dissipation
@ezemdi Life in actuality is beautiful. It is false thinking and propaganda that make us think otherwise. All the suffering and the hate is all perpetuated and manufactured into culture. It is those who look beyond and act upon it that benefit from life.
@ezemdi Life has meaning, the meaning may be selfish, only because we choose the meanings and define it by our actions and choices. Life and death aren't really absurd, they are simple straight forward concepts, we don't have the choice to not die, so it isn't a choice. It is just death.
I'm an existentialist, and I have to say it's quite an enlightening path to take. You can see the world for what it is to an extent like any other view but some things will always be left to mystery.
...in life is absurd...which is the same as giving up on everything really. so with this outlook of life is absurd would contradict any philosophy that is in the pursuit of gain anything within life.
Accept responsibility for you own action, determine the course of your life whilst facing the apparent absurdity of life...Yes i agree....then you go on to say that Existentialist have taken this outlook and it contradicts itself because they see "life is absurd"...now i think there's a misconception there because i think "the absurdities of life" is not the same as "life is absurd". "The absurdities of life" is just one of the products from life...."life is absurd" is saying that everything..
but thats the beauty of it we do contradict our selves because as i believe nothing is absolute. and when you said about when we believe that life is meaningless so why do we bother to carry on living i say WHY NOT? i live for pleasure but my passion doesnt rule me. adn the meaning part is that i dont need to be "special"
@Salieri325 I just wanted to point out that your comments reflect a clear understanding of philosophy and psychology, yet they are incredibly hypocritical when combined. To repeatedly dismiss the retorts of the opposition as empty insults with a guise of desperation, then finish with equally as empty insults is not only careless, but immature.
@Salieri325 I also notice that you have a very colorful vocabulary, yet sacrifice functionality of words by using them in convoluted ways to make yourself sound smarter. If your vocabulary is so large, use the words that fit the best because surely you know them. Nobody is impressed by long words, nor does it validate your argument. In fact, it gives you a default win because your language is indeciferable to others, and you wouldn't have understood if someone had said the same things to you.
@FoleyGrail Ah of course, there is always the imbecile who is insecure with his/her own use of terms and her/her own comprehension of language so much so that they feel the need to point out to others the so-called ambiguity of their own. Let me use a language you will understand then. ALDHALSDFHLSEFGHWLFIHWFEIH! Does that make more sense to the ever so observant and linguistically inclined “post-post-modernist” raconteur such as yourself?
@Salieri325 I am not insecure with my vocabulary, nor am I an imbecile. Naturally you are too conceited to actually consider that you're being an asshole, and instead choose to respond with direct insults rather than changing the way you talk to people. You use eccentric language because you think it makes people think you're smart. Well you're using half the words poorly just so you can use big words. Don't take my word for it though, it's obvious I'm too stupid to understALDHALSDFHLSEFGHWL
@FoleyGrail Telling someone they use eccentric language as a ploy to "sound smart" doesn't actually mean that person does so for that reason, it only means that you think they do: shedding light on your inadequacy or inability to comprehend anything more than two syllables. Using the terminology of Aristotle’s philosophy to highlight his philosophical points, and your inability to understand that only shows that you are dumb enough to believe that linguistic meaning is easily commutable.
@Salieri325 I also notice that you have a very colorful vocabulary yet sacrifice functionality of words by using them in convoluted ways to make yourself sound smarter. If your vocabulary is so large, use the words that fit the best because surely you know them. Nobody is impressed by long words, nor does it validate your argument. In fact, it gives you a default win because your language is indecipherable to others, and you wouldn't have understood if someone had said the same things to you.
@FoleyGrail Saying something repeatedly doesn't make you correct, nor is it sufficient to say that someone's use of words reflects a poor quality of intellect. You, sir, are abundantly stupid if you are to actually believe that the application of esoteric terms within a content-specific philosophical discussion is somehow a function of gross stupidity...
@xsvonl This is a logical proof for the experience of accidental properties which occur through the sense organ and are made intelligible by composition and division within the mind. You seem to think that this proves or disproves anything, whereas I state that despite its own merit it proves nothing more than that which its own philosophy espouses and it useless when applied to any other.
@xsvonl The mind, in its second act forms a judgment by way of the species express and references the essence of a thing (as it exists in the mind) with its essence as it exists extramentally. Therefore the mind knows accidental qualities through the acquiescence of these separate forms of existence which reference the same thing. Blue (accidental – existing manifestly in a thing as thing) = Blue (intentionally – existing intelligibly as a thing as object).
@xsvonl (Aristotle, cont’d…) Composition and division are functions of the intellect. Accidental qualities of an object can be separates as things within reality, which owe for their being and being known upon matter, which are joined in reality can be separated in the mind (though only with reference to matter, but not signate matter). Form and matter impress upon the mind whereby a things essence (along with its ens commune) exist intentionally within the mind.
@xsvonl All objects are hylomorphic composites. All hylomorphic composites contain form and matter. Accidental qualities are inseparable from substance for all accidental qualities cannot exist apart from matter (no accidental qualities exist immaterially). The act of existence is derived from the form of an object. The union of the form and object allow the act of existence to become whole according to that thing’s essence, or that which instantiates it in being.
@xsvonl Allow me to demonstrate for the simple monkey. Follow along as I grind my organ. Let’s begin with Aristotle’s form of logic for the nonsensical “lived experience” example.
@xsvonl You, being the only moronic, so-called “philosophy professor” who believes that logic is universally applicable, labors tirelessly under the false notion that a logical proof is in any way significant towards a things being. It is not. Simply because I can providence or cannot provide a logic proof for the “lived experience” (which makes no sense you tool because you cannot have an unlived experience) that does not mean it does or does not exist, respectively.
@xsvonl Your simple assertions accomplish little more than the inflation of your own ego. If you want to do that, go right ahead but I assure you that I could care less. Now allow me to explain the most basic concept known to real philosophers… Logic is not a universal construct. Logic is a perspectival tool employed by the metaphysical and epistemological formulae of a discipline.
@xsvonl Now allow me to break this down for you. This domain where we find ourselves discussing, or I should say where I find myself talking to a wall, is known as the internet. I have made no mention of my credentials, nor my personal life, not because I care to purport my arguments with them, but because I do not need to validate my existence against the pithy remarks of others.
@xsvonl Ah, so the angst ridden teen who has read the first three pages of Thus Spake Zarathustra finally shows his colors. Do you think referencing my sex life somehow upsets me or in any way validates your non-arguments?
Anyone who goes about saying that one of the main problems with existentialism is its nihilism is, by virtue of their tremendous incompetence, not worthy of having an opinion.
"Deriving something from nothing... which is... absurd!" (snicker ha ha ha) "Because it is quite clear that by my non-logical assertion through "implicit" tones and gestures I have come to the realization that no other philosopher in the history of mankind could have grasped! I hardly know anything about existentialism but as long as I laugh after I make an assertion I must be right? Who needs metaphysics anyway?”
@xsvonl More to that effect is that there are those such as her who presume to think that philosophy is a tool with which to combat the faith of others, or that it is a tool which has within itself the power to deconstruct religion (as if philosophy itself were a science of necessity). This moron, like many others, is laboring under the delusion that science/philosophy are in some way superior to religion and, for that reason, they pursue philosophy blindly.
@xsvonl And no, for your information, it is not “great” that young people like her are “grappling” with these concepts. I have encountered numerous morons like this one who have taken one highschool philosophy class and suddenly think they’re equipped with the tools necessary to construct entire philosophical disciplines all their own.
@xsvonl To say that any philosophy (such as that of Kant) was somehow disproven or rendered inferior after that of another proceeding philosopher only exemplifies your and her ignorance. We do not study philosophy so as to say this one is superior or this one is inferior, so much as we do to understand each on its own merit. You are a moron for thinking that Kant is futile even in today’s age.
@xsvonl No self-respecting philosopher would ask another for a logical proof that would serve as the foundation for our temporal and metaphysical understanding lest there would not be MANY schools of logic. Philosophers understand that logic is perspectival and not absolute, though we may use universal propositions within logic.
@xsvonl You, clearly being inept, seem to think that the term logic is interchangeable with the phrase universal truth. No philosopher believes that a logical proof is substantive, only that it adheres to the logical parameters within which is abides.
@xsvonl Ah I see that you are one of those pseudo-philosophers who fancies yourself a real raconteur just because you're able to apply seemingly "impervious" or "unsolvable" propositions to conversations. Yes, I can present you with numerous logical proofs for the "lived experience" of any color. That does not mean that color is primarily sensory or an epiphenomenon, nor that it exists or does not. Pull your head out of your ass.
@nuggert go read a book of phylosophy .. leave youtube.. cant u notice the absurdity of searching for something "serious" and academic in utube??.. dont waste ur time here. Or do it, whatever..
Existentialism is the lure of the minds attachment to identity in comparison to the positions of the machine formed in the image of mans vanity, the complexity of this is compounded by the affects of pretended knowledge, pretended knowledge comes in multiple forms and relates to the power of suggestion becoming a form of distraction, faculties of reasoning sees the physical truths that you dont really know who you are to anyone...
Lol trying to define existentialism as if it's a mind contorting idea..I'm gonna make a video and define pretentiousness.

People write books upon books. Think until their brains implode. Searching for the answer. The meaning of everything. In the end, they find four words to sum up their knowledge.

existentialism is about finding the meaning of life. if you find the meaning of life then that means that life has a meaning. its very hard to do so. it takes alot of pain and suffering through your life just to understand why people are the way they are. once you find it you cant lose it. its in your face and is undeniable. most people really dont understand what its about.

"The physical laws of the physical universe don't have anything to do with personal responsibility" is a quite remarkable statement. Since this certainly isn't a widespread belief I would suggest that you motivate this premiss with something other than saying "that's just my opinon" as if you opinion were mere words with no reason to back it up whatsoever.

Existentialism dumbed down:
Universal existence is meaningless.
Individual existence gains meaning through freewill(ones ability to make a choice)
Individual freedom is limitless. In society, the individualistic freedom is limited only by how much freedom the individual gives others.
The goal of existentialism is to become an authentic free individual in a social group.

Please give this some serious thought. Consider that Jesus was the premiere existentialist of his era. It was his mission to break the religious hypocrisy that existed back then with all it's traditions and pointed out, to all, that they can have a personal relationship with God as they come to know and understand him personally. As existentialist we encourage people to seek their own path as well with respect to how they come to personally understand God. So a christian existentialist can exist

Though "existence precedes essence" and "absurdity" are important concepts, I tend to think that existentialism as a philosophy actually begins with the question: how does one become an individual?

It is Fake Writing. This is 19th century European Philosophy that came from the 18th Century. It should only be taught at few colleges. Any further teaching beyond that is prohibited. There is no benefit in teaching this stuff. The Department of Education needs to do a better job at regulating what is taught at colleges and universities. Too much balgony. I remember the Cal State Hayward Days where Campus Life was filled with cheer. We need to bring those days back.

I believe that you have limited "existentialism" to a raw philisophic form that stands alone. In reality it can be made compatible to so many different personal philosophies. I think when someone can apply it into their own lives, it becomes more relevant.

Lastly, my one beef with hedonism is that the neurotransmitters packed in our brains are means to an end. Remember that we have an evolutionary history, and as such our sense of pleasure may be linked to necessities which aided our survival & reproduction. Such needs may've been difficult to come by at some point in time, and thus our bodies would prioritize in getting as many of them as possible (food for example). now that such scarcity is not a factor, our instincts may not be as reliable.

You mention the seeming contradictory notion of encouraging others to think for themselves. It is almost like saying "Don't listen to a word I'm saying!" though it may seem as if the intention of encouraging people to think for themselves is a direct command to disagree with you that is only a 1st reaction.
Instead, all you're proposing is that people make decisions based on their own critical analysis by means of critical thinking which may lead the person to either agree or disagree with you.
grimwatcher 9 months ago
one can exist without being something. therefore you can have the most intelligent or adecuate properties in your conciousness. Howeve,r the girl in the video makes a mistake saying that emptyness cannot influence that which is. Of course it can, it may use certain devices with essence, but it can certainly affect, destroy, cuestion or trasform the world, with the impulse of something which is not existing or not real, creating the fennomena of perception and dissipation

"The absurdities of life" is just one of the products from life...."life is absurd" is saying that everything..

@Salieri325 I also notice that you have a very colorful vocabulary, yet sacrifice functionality of words by using them in convoluted ways to make yourself sound smarter. If your vocabulary is so large, use the words that fit the best because surely you know them. Nobody is impressed by long words, nor does it validate your argument. In fact, it gives you a default win because your language is indeciferable to others, and you wouldn't have understood if someone had said the same things to you.

@FoleyGrail Ah of course, there is always the imbecile who is insecure with his/her own use of terms and her/her own comprehension of language so much so that they feel the need to point out to others the so-called ambiguity of their own.

@FoleyGrail Telling someone they use eccentric language as a ploy to "sound smart" doesn't actually mean that person does so for that reason, it only means that you think they do: shedding light on your inadequacy or inability to comprehend anything more than two syllables. Using the terminology of Aristotle’s philosophy to highlight his philosophical points, and your inability to understand that only shows that you are dumb enough to believe that linguistic meaning is easily commutable.

Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl This is a logical proof for the experience of accidental properties which occur through the sense organ and are made intelligible by composition and division within the mind. You seem to think that this proves or disproves anything, whereas I state that despite its own merit it proves nothing more than that which its own philosophy espouses and it useless when applied to any other.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl The mind, in its second act forms a judgment by way of the species express and references the essence of a thing (as it exists in the mind) with its essence as it exists extramentally. Therefore the mind knows accidental qualities through the acquiescence of these separate forms of existence which reference the same thing. Blue (accidental – existing manifestly in a thing as thing) = Blue (intentionally – existing intelligibly as a thing as object).
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl (Aristotle, cont’d…) Composition and division are functions of the intellect. Accidental qualities of an object can be separates as things within reality, which owe for their being and being known upon matter, which are joined in reality can be separated in the mind (though only with reference to matter, but not signate matter). Form and matter impress upon the mind whereby a things essence (along with its ens commune) exist intentionally within the mind.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl All objects are hylomorphic composites. All hylomorphic composites contain form and matter. Accidental qualities are inseparable from substance for all accidental qualities cannot exist apart from matter (no accidental qualities exist immaterially). The act of existence is derived from the form of an object. The union of the form and object allow the act of existence to become whole according to that thing’s essence, or that which instantiates it in being.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl Allow me to demonstrate for the simple monkey. Follow along as I grind my organ. Let’s begin with Aristotle’s form of logic for the nonsensical “lived experience” example.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl You, being the only moronic, so-called “philosophy professor” who believes that logic is universally applicable, labors tirelessly under the false notion that a logical proof is in any way significant towards a things being. It is not. Simply because I can providence or cannot provide a logic proof for the “lived experience” (which makes no sense you tool because you cannot have an unlived experience) that does not mean it does or does not exist, respectively.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl Your simple assertions accomplish little more than the inflation of your own ego. If you want to do that, go right ahead but I assure you that I could care less. Now allow me to explain the most basic concept known to real philosophers… Logic is not a universal construct. Logic is a perspectival tool employed by the metaphysical and epistemological formulae of a discipline.
Salieri325 11 months ago
@xsvonl Now allow me to break this down for you. This domain where we find ourselves discussing, or I should say where I find myself talking to a wall, is known as the internet. I have made no mention of my credentials, nor my personal life, not because I care to purport my arguments with them, but because I do not need to validate my existence against the pithy remarks of others.

@xsvonl More to that effect is that there are those such as her who presume to think that philosophy is a tool with which to combat the faith of others, or that it is a tool which has within itself the power to deconstruct religion (as if philosophy itself were a science of necessity). This moron, like many others, is laboring under the delusion that science/philosophy are in some way superior to religion and, for that reason, they pursue philosophy blindly.

@xsvonl And no, for your information, it is not “great” that young people like her are “grappling” with these concepts.

Salieri325 1 year ago
@xsvonl To say that any philosophy (such as that of Kant) was somehow disproven or rendered inferior after that of another proceeding philosopher only exemplifies your and her ignorance. We do not study philosophy so as to say this one is superior or this one is inferior, so much as we do to understand each on its own merit. You are a moron for thinking that Kant is futile even in today’s age.
Salieri325 1 year ago
@xsvonl No self-respecting philosopher would ask another for a logical proof that would serve as the foundation for our temporal and metaphysical understanding lest there would not be MANY schools of logic. Philosophers understand that logic is perspectival and not absolute, though we may use universal propositions within logic.
Salieri325 1 year ago
@xsvonl You, clearly being inept, seem to think that the term logic is interchangeable with the phrase universal truth. No philosopher believes that a logical proof is substantive, only that it adheres to the logical parameters within which is abides.

@xsvonl Ah I see that you are one of those pseudo-philosophers who fancies yourself a real raconteur just because you're able to apply seemingly "impervious" or "unsolvable" propositions to conversations.
