EXISTENTIALISM
Late 19th and 20th-century philosophers
Soren Kierkegaard
Popular after World War II
EXISTENTIALISM IS…
Existence precedes Essence
Complete happiness cannot be achieved
The meaning of life is what you will it to be
Living “authentically”
The Dude Abides
EXISTENTIALISM IS…
Acknowledging the angst of life
Our freedom makes us anxious
We can choose to do things that will hurt us
The world is absurd
You're standing on a cliff
EXISTENTIALISM IS…
Facticity
We are the past, present, and future of our beings
Facticity does not determine a person
Amnesia scenario
Folsom Prison Blues
