Flip learning Existentialism

Hello readers,

This blog is part of my Flip learning activity. To see that context click here

 Ans -1


“I like following thoughts from this all video……


                             

Video – 1: The term existentialism is applied by many great thinker and writer like, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Sartre, Beauvoir, Kafka etc…they all share one basic belief that philosophical thing is existing begin with each thinking subject like individual. Existentialism is triangle of three key word that is, 1) Individuality 2) passion and 3) freedom. In this video one interesting quote by Camus that “believe in God is a philosophical suicide”. Because when you fully devote yourself towards God, you realize that your lives is become absurd and also despair. This idea is break down by existentialism because it is about freedom, individuality and also passion.


                                

Video – 2:  This video talks about Albert Camus view regarding matter of suicide. For Camus suicide is an individual act. For this he gave one interesting quote “An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art”. He also says that ‘we are consent, here a dark side with the relationship between individual thought and suicide’. “Being too thing is beginning to undermine”. When start to think about absurdity of life, you feel like a stranger. 

                                    

Video – 3: This video is talk about Philosophical suicide. The notion of philosophical suicide was what makes us fall in love. Here also some argument about absurdity of life. It is also says that ‘if it is admitted the absurd is the contrary of hope, it is seen the existential thought process of the absurd but proves that only to dispel it’.

                                   

Video – 4: In this video talk about Dadaism and Nihilism. Dadaism is somehow connecting with the Nihilism. Dadaism is the quest for change. Dadaism means to make yourself free from all values. This movement also becomes visual arts literature and anti art cultural work. In this video one quote is there that is, “Dadaism and Nihilism is nothing to do each other both are fading up everybody life and its ordinary value and that are where the similarity”. We also see that Dadaism and existentialism both are reaction to the war.

                                    

Video – 5: Existentialism was response to emptiness because after Second World War, despair and absurdity lingered to every corner of every individual. Existentialism holds some idea like absurdity, anxiety and despair. Existentialism is a gloomy philosophy because it is become famous after Second World War. At that time people ‘believe in god, finding a truth that is true for you, judge every value and choose your meaning in life. You should take responsibility and except the consequence of it’. 

                                      

Video – 6: Existentialism and Nihilism both are different from each other. Existentialism is not totally negative term, while Nihilism is negative term. Both are see the absurdity of the life but at the end both reach at different conclusion. Existentialism is all about live with facts and Nihilism is about absurdity of life. 
  
                                          

Video – 7: Existentialism movement arose in 19th century in Europe. Soren Kegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche are called father of existentialism. In 20th century after world war second we see the root of existentialism. Sartre’s famous statement about existentialism is that “existence precedes essence”.  Robert Solomon in his work “Able to existentialism”  says that “existentialism is an attitude that recognizes the irresolvable confusion of the human world yet resists the all too human temptation to resolve the confusion by grasping toward whatever appears or can be made to appear firm or familiar….. The existential attitude begins with a disoriented individual facing a confused world that he cannot accept”.   

                                      
  
Video – 8: Nietzsche says that making up over own rules that is existentialism. Here in this video give example of superman, normally superman do nice things, but Nietzsche supermen do whatever he wants. Existentialism is stand for own self. One can do whatever he or she wants.  

                             

Video -9: Existentialism is about individuality. It apple with our mind and understand the life more deeply. It also makes apple with our hart and Saul which experience of life more deeply. Existentialism is says about what I am. It recognizes the human strength as well as human fall and weakness. Existentialism affects how we think about things. It also helps us feel like a laughing like child, a serious intellectual, a strom on the horizon, a blossoming like a flower. It also teaches us life is a much broader way. Existentialism teaches us suffering is not our enemy, because sometime we learn from more suffering so we think that suffering is our enemy. 

                                    
 
Video – 10:  In 20th century Jean Paul Sartre has question for essence and also question that what is exist first. So we can say that “existence precedes essence”. Our essence existence before we born, which gives us purpose to living.   Existentialist says that all thing gives meaning to the life.  

Ans- 2: I like video “Let us introduce Existentialism again” and 8 “Explain like I’m five”   the most. Video 7 gives us whole knowledge about existentialism. When we not get proper meaning of existentialism than that video gives us proper explanation about whole philosophy. Video 8 ‘Explain like I’m five’, it explains very easily this term. It gives simply meaning of existentialism.

Ans – 3: I enjoy flip learning. It is an experimental key to learn. Flip learning is the best specimen to practice to listen carefully. It helps me understand existentialism in a batter way. It also improves my listing and writing skill. Instead of traditional teaching through the board or chock stick this is something new to experiment for the student learning. 


Thank you…
