Here is the blog task link...


###Existentialism...

It is a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will. In the existentialism Individual is the center rather than God. It was founded by soren Kierkguard , Nietzsche.




# Video 1 : What is Existentialism?

***The  first video is about what is Existentialism?  Existentialism is all about Freedom, Individuality and Passion.

Kierkguard , Nietzsche , Dostoyevsky,
 Kafka, Shestov, Hesse, Heidegger, Sartre and Beavvoir were Existentialist philosophers. Their views different from each other but, the thing which gathering them that they have basic belief of Individuality. For all of them Individually is important.

Albert Camus said that "Believe in God is philosophical suicide for him."  Existentialist denied the idea of God Existence.Because when we are tried to think out of the box at that time we feel fear about something happening wrong and about God also, so God become barer for it.

This term is popular among young generation because person struggling with their own views. It leads them towards suicide , anguish , absurdity, passion, death and despair.


# Video 2 : Myth of sisyphus ( The absurd reasoning )

***"Life if full of Absurdity." Alburt Camus discusses the meaning of life. Why one commits suicide? Because they thought that life is not worth living. Camus said,  that commit Suicide is an individual act. Suicide is an ultimate work of art. when we think about absurdity of life, we feel like darker side of life. For Camu this philosophy is very important and maybe that's why he believed Suicide is an Art...




# Video 3 :  The myth of sisyphus  ( Philosophical suicide )

***Its really very interesting video, it's about  how Myth of Sisyphus represented the human life. The Myth of Sisyphus (Philosophical Suicide) Camus says that existential attitude is philosophical suicide.
sometimes human beings live the same life everyday and findout pleasure in it.
Reason is useless and there is nothing beyond reason.The absurdity is everything which is accepts of death. For example Religion people belive that something is beyond to reason but absurd people belive that reason is useless and there is nothing beyond to reason.Absurd man knows there is no place for hope.

Absurd+Faith=Escaped




# Video 4  : Dadaism ,  Nihilism and Existentialism...

***World war gave the rise to the term of "Dadaism", idea of change. It questions established notions and values. In this way it creates new path of living. it finds the way of becoming free from everything.
Dadaism and Nihilism has nothing to do with each other both are fed up with everyday life and it's arbitrary values. Dadaism and Nihilism both are focus on free from everything.Here is the opportunity for making your own values.

I like the quote " The absurd doesn't frighten me, because from more elevated point of view i considered everything in life to be absurd." (Existentialism and Nihilism )



#Video 5 :Existentialism - A gloomy philosophy...

***In this video Nietzsche says that " Be who you are". Being an individual it does not mean that you are a Narcissist. Life is full of anxiety.  Notion as anxiety, despair, absurdity never seem to live in our argument. Existentialism responds emptiness of absurdity and despair. It counters the nothingness of existence by embracing existence itself. Finding a truth is truth for you. so, this is about the gloomy philosophy of Existentialism.




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

***Existentialism and Nihilism both are distinctly different from each other. Nietzsche who's announce standing that existentialism was against Nihilism. Existentialism leads to Nihilism as that be both share a very basic view of things. Existentialism and Nihilism both see the absurdity of life but ends with different conclusions. People confused because Nihilism comes after Extensional thinking.



#Video : 7 Let's introduce Existentialism again !

***In this video,Introduction of Existentialism. Here, Sartre says,
"Existence precedes essence". Existence freedom and choice it is a view human define their own meaning of life. Existentialism is a philosophical movement which dealing with existence of human in the universe but it is confusion.. Is that really no meaning of our life?




#Video : 8 Explain like I'm five: Existentialism and Nietzsche...

***This video is very good, its explained the concept of Existentialism inf-rent of children. and the concept of
 " Ubermensche" also explain well,  ubermensche means Superman. So do what ever you want.Nietzsche gives his Idea about Existentialism ,“According to him we don't have to believe in all kind of  rules that made up,” The idea of
existention is that there is no Universal morality that govern all of us.




#Video 9 :Why I like Existentialism?  Eric  Dodson...

***I like Existentialism because it takes me as I am.because,it's all about  It is how I see the things, there is no force of accept other's thoughts.



#Video : 10 Let's sum up : Essentialism to Existentialism...

In the last video I like this thought that,
" The search for answers in an answerless world. World is also full of meaninglessness". There is one thing in this video is perpetual is meaninglessness of life.
