Respected sir,
Here i am sharing my views , which i like most during watching the videos on Existentialism. 10 videos are available from the blog task link.
Ans -1
(1) The first video is about what is Existentialism? Existentialism is all about Freedom, Individuality and Passion. Albert Camus said that " Believe in God is philosophical suicide for him." Because when we think out of the box at that time we feel fear for something wrong and God also , so God become barer for it. ( Video - 1 )
(2) This video talked about the " Myth of Sisyphus" by Camus. Through this Camus talked on the method of Suicide, for him suicide is an individual act.When we feel something absurd in our life at that time we have two choose HOPE and SUICIDE. It's depend on us which path we choose.In this video one beautiful example is also given name of this movie is " STAY". ( Myth of Sisyphus - For reading) ( Video - 2 )
" Beginning to think is beginning to undermine".
(3) Here in this video camu talked about the " Philosophical Suicide", with the existence of life and the world many absurdity also exist. But try to learn from this absurdity. It is difficult and challenging also but try to solve it, because to avoid is very easy. For ex- Virginia Woolf also suicide, but it is philosophical suicide because some logic behind it not like comman man did . ( Video - 3 )
(4) This video try to explain that what is the difference between Dadaism and Nihilism. Dadaism began from WW1 in 1916. Existentialism is respond to WW2.( Video - 4 )
(5) Video five is talked on A Gloomy of nothingness, means we feel some time nothingness and absurdity, emptiness and these and existentialism try to gave ans of all. Life + Anxiety = ? so be individual is important. ( Video - 5 )
(6) In this shows that Existentialism V/S Nihilism. How both are different. Nihilism , this school of thought believed that nothing in this world. Be aware of the otherworldly.( Video - 6 )
(7) " Existence precedes essence", live your life with your choice. Nietzsche also said - Become who you are. ( Video - 7 )
(8) This video is very good, how beautifully explain 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.
(9) Really this video i like most, because in this they present very well that what is existentialism and how this concept you can apply in your life, and living more deeply. with beautiful quotes and images. suffering is a part of human lives so learn form it and move. I like Existentialism because it makes me as i am.
(10) Concept of essence that given by Aristotle and Plato, and how it is important. " Absurdity is the search for answers in an answerless world."
This image shows about essence of human being.
