Slide1

Warm Up 10/10

Everyday, I do the dishes. It’s the same thing: I unload the dirties, inevitably finding a few that the dishwasher has missed, and then fill up the dishwasher with the dishes that my family has been tossing in the sink all day. What repetitive, and sometimes seemingly meaningless tasks, do you do regularly? Think of as many as you can.Slide2

Learning Targets

I can take a few notes on Existentialism.

I can read and answer questions relating to Camus’s The Myth of Sisyphus.

I can connect existential concepts to my reading of

Invisible Man

Notes on Existentialism

Pronounced EGG- ZIST-TEN-SHUL-ISM

A philosophy which

emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice over the subscribing to a set of social beliefs

.Slide4

Notes (2) Major Themes

Impossible to define the term precisely due to the diversity of positions associated with it.

The stress on

concrete individual existence

subjectivity, individual freedom

, and

choice

.Slide5

Notes (3) Moral Individualism

Soren

Keirkegaard

(pronounced

cake-err-guard

) was the first man to use the word “existential.”

He reacted against the idea that the highest ethical good is the same for everyone.

Instead

, the highest ethical good must be determined by each individual based on his/her experiences

Existentialists argue that no objective, rational basis can be found for moral decisions.Slide6

Notes (4) Subjectivity

Personal experience and acting on ones own convictions are essential in arriving at truth

This has made existentialists skeptical of systematic reasoning so when they write, they are often INTENTIONALLY not systematic in their explanations.Slide7

Notes (5) Choice

Choice is the most prominent theme in existentialist writing.

Human’s primary distinction from other animals is his ability to choose.

Each human being makes choices which create his/her own nature.

As human beings must make choices, facing the consequences of these choices is IMPLICIT. The accepting of consequences for actions should be expected.Slide8

Notes (6) Dread and Anxiety

Dread

is a crucial element of existentialist theory. It refers to the feeling of

general apprehension one feels after having accepted that life is meaningless by itself,

and it is up to the individual to create meaning (Kierkegaard).

Anxiety

is similar in that it refers to the individual’s confrontation with nothingness and

with the impossibility of finding ultimate justification for the choices

they

must make
