Existentialism : Flipped Learning : Ask Questions

 Hello friends!

In this blog about Flipped Learning task. This activity given by our Pro. Dr. Dilip Barad sir.

Existentialism :-

Existentialism is a philosophy that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice. It is the view that humans define their own meaning in life, and try to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. It focuses on the question of human existence and the feeling that there is no purpose or explanation at the core of existence. It holds that, as there is no God or any other transcendent force, the only way to counter this nothingness (and hence to find meaning in life) is by embracing existence. 

Video-1 What is Existentialism


Here is the existentialist philosophers:

 1. Soren Kierkegaard

2. Martin Heideggar 

3. Jean Paul Sartre

4. Albert Camus

5. Friedrich Nietzsche 

6. Simon De Beauvoir

In this video another somewhat profound way but they all share a basic belief for all of them philosophical thought in an existing beginning with each thinking subject namely the individual. However there are at least two other equally important parts which will constitute existentialism, passions, and freedom. That might be one reason why believing or not believing in God would make one holding a title as an existentialist because even if you believe in God.

Video 2: The Myth of Sisyphus: The Absurd Reasoning (Feeling of the Absurd)



In this video we'll be taking about an absurd reasoning Conus starts this essay by bringing our attention to an intriguing and somewhat unusual start he writes…

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is Suicide."

 As we go on you'll see why he is focusing on the matter of suicide. Right from the beginning it your life is filled with despair and absurdity and you see that something deprived of all meaning you might consider to commit suicide.

I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. So I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions for Conus suicide is an individual act he says we are concerned here adults that with the relationship between individual thoughts on suicide and act.

Video 3: The Myth of Sisyphus: the notion of philosophical suicide



In this video he talk about the absurdity in life.

"Absurd is neither in man not in the word, it can only occur in their presence together - man and the world"

As we think our world is irrational and yes it is and you need human beings for this irrationality to be conceived. We have to think that if there would not be any human being then there would not be any desire for human nostalgia to be satisfied. We have to accept all the consequences which we face in our life and obviously the absurdity ends with death.

There are three important thing which we have to remember. A total absence of hope, a continuous,rejection ,conscious dissatisfaction 

Video 4: Dadaism, Nihilism and Existentialism



In this video the three philosophical concepts are Dadaism, Nihilism and Existentialism.

Dadaism : -

Dadaism is an artistic movement, which emerged during 1916, in the midst of the First World War which was during 1914 to 1918. Dadaism rejects old values upon the evidence that World War first is the result of Old tradition and Conventions. Another interesting fact is that Dadaism only questions the Old tradition instead of creating new values of living life. It questions why we fail to live according to those values? Dadaism is a quest for change which is a path to new culture and civilization. Hugo Ball, Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco are great dadaist thinkers who were disgusted by war and found a new movement which rejects the old school of thought.

Nihilism :-

 Nihilism is a philosophy which is rooted into the notion of meaninglessness of Life. It argues that everything on this earth cannot be known like to get every knowledge is not possible, find meaning of life is merely impossible, everything in life is baseless. So, It is a kind of Escapism and Pessimist attitude towards life. But Existentialists accept these meaninglessness and try to find answers in this irrational universe.

Existentialism : -

Dadaism is a movement which emerged after the First World War in the same manner Existentialism emerged after the Second World War which emphasised the existential angst of human beings. It questions Who you are? And and Don't impose upon your individual identity what other people say to you. Existentialism is a movement which is more associated with Individuality and Freedom of Choice.

Video 5: Existentialism - a gloomy philosophy




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

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


Existentialism believe in subjectivity like individuality, nothingness, absurd life while Nihilism believe in objectivity like everything is illusion in life.

Video 7: Let us introduce Existentialism again!


Existentialism is a fyu century some of the cavy century. the history of existentialism. Examine what for existentialism is the key concern of philosophy. Ather examine sartre's famous statement "existence precedes essence" with various example. most notable thing is cleverly define different between existentialism and nihilism.

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



In this video I see how teachers teaching Nietzsche ideas and explain Existentialism. Ubermensche suggest to make free choice as well as freedom to do anything. We are free to build our own values and take our own decision.

Video 9: Why I like Existentialism? Eric Dodson


In this video Eric Dodson who had shared his experience of existentialism. And also he was interestingly discussing how existentialism helped him. Movement of extraordinary or something staggering honesty, Understanding like holistically this is also important one.
Two sides to the way of deep looking : mind and body.

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

up:There is a difference between essentialism and existentialism. As a human being only after the birth we can decide our essence by our choice.
