	Jean-Paul Sartre [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		To dispel the apparent counter-intuitiveness of the claims that emotional states and flights of imagination are active, and thus to provide an account that does justice to the phenomenology of these states, spontaneity must be clearly distinguished from a voluntary act.
		Since all human lives are characterised by such a desire (albeit in different individuated forms), Sartre has thus provided a description of the human condition which is dominated by the irrationality of particular projects.
		Human beings interiorise the universal features of the situation in which they are born, and this translates in terms of a particular way of developing as a praxis.

	Existentialism Philosophy
		Ann Woodlief in a paper presented to Virginia Humanities Conference states: “The major premise of transcendental eco-wisdom is that connection with nature is essential for a person's intellectual, aesthetic, and moral health and growth.
		The existential conflict in all societies stems from the natural urge of individuals to be free, as the ruling factions seek to limit citizen choices and their inborn drive.
		This synthesis is what Maritain called an integral humanism, one that is free of all taint of the rationalism and naturalism that characterized the dialectic of the anthropocentric humanism of the 18th and 19th century.

	Existentialism
		Existentialism is defined by the slogan Existence precedes Essence.
		The human situation for the Existentialist is thus characterized by:
		Despair: In seeing the contrast between the world we re thrown into and which we cannot control and the absolute freedom we have to create ourselves, we must despair of any hope of external value or determination and restrict ourselves to what is under our own control.

	Existentialism
		Existentialism may be explained according to the themes and concerns of its proponents.
		Existential Theology does not and cannot exist, but existential theologians should exist, that is theologians whose chief interest does not lie in dogmatics and in the external observance of rituals, but in the souls of men, in their predicament and in the willingness to help them.
		Dasein (being-there), that is, the human Being or the human existent, Heidegger identified as.

	Existentialism
		Jean-Paul Sartre originally defined the word existentialism, and applied it to lots of people who never knew they were existentialists and who held a range of conflicting ideas on a variety of topics, the existence of god being one such debated topic.
		Existentialism is a very influential philosophy that went through periods where it greatly affected politics and pop-culture, and is still very popular in certain circles.
		They look at how existentialism can be useful in psychiatry, and how the issues people desire to address in psychotherapy are often of an existential nature, like life, death, and meaning.

		Sartre's famous phrase "existence precedes essence" is intended to signify that we human are the kinds of beings who exist first of all with the internal freedom to choose what kind of person (what "essence") to be.
		Existentialism is nothing else than an attempt to draw all the consequences of a coherent atheistic position.
		In this sense existentialism is optimistic, a doctrine of action, and it is plain dishonesty for Christians to make no distinction between their own despair and ours and then to call us despairing.

	The Rise of Humanism, Existentialism, and Materialism
		Humanism can be described as an unquestioning faith in the inherent value of every human life and a belief in the fundamental rights of every person.
		Humanism promotes all of the positive caring and sharing values that civilized society has developed over the centuries through the lessons of human experience and the power of human reason.
		If there is anything sacred about human rights, it comes from the hopes of those who have suffered, and from the blood of those who have died fighting for the cause of freedom in the historic struggle against self-serving opportunists and ideological extremists.

		Sartre (1957) underscored that the very consequence of being born human is tantamount to the cliché condemned to be free.
		Human necessity inferred from the play argues how humankind is dependent on the “Other’s” mirror, or gaze, for self-realization; it is also a challenge that Sartre presents the characters with—humankind collectively must move beyond their objectified understanding of himself or herself and each other to some common ground, which ultimately involves trusting one another.
		Thus, • human necessity is humankind’s outward display of sincerity, brotherhood, and concern for the “Other”; it is intellectually and emotionally committed to the unity of humankind.

	Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean Paul Sartre
		On the other hand, we have been charged with dwelling on human degradation, with pointing up everywhere the sordid, shady, and slimy, and neglecting the gracious and beautiful, the bright side of human nature; for example, according to Mlle.
		In any case, what can be said from the very beginning is that by existentialism we mean a doctrine which makes human life possible and, in addition, declares that every truth and every action implies a human setting and a human subjectivity.
		The kind of person who can take in his stride such a novel as Zola's The Earth is disgusted as soon as he starts reading an existentialist novel; the kind of person who is resigned to the wisdom of the ages-which is pretty sad-finds us even sadder.

	Sartre
		Recognizing a connection between the principles of existentialism and the more practical concerns of social and political struggle, Sartre wrote not only philosophical treatises but also novels, stories, plays, and political pamphlets.
		Empasizing the radical freedom of all human action, Sartre warns of the dangers of mauvaise foi (bad faith), acting on the self-deceptive motives by which people often try to elude responsibility for what they do.
		("Existentialism is a Humanism") (1946), Sartre described the human condition in summary form: freedom entails total responsibility, in the face of which we experience anguish, forlornness, and despair; genuine human dignity can be achieved only in our active acceptance of these emotions.

		Sartre shows on the one hand that existentialism was a movement born out of the rejection of ideology.
		The core of Sartre's analysis lies in his assertion that "existence precedes essence." Every other piece of existentialism flows from this idea that Man, at birth, is a being for whom nothing is determined.
		Sartre shows that the existentialists do not reject meaning; they simply insist that there is no a priori meaning.

		The message of existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be.
		It is, in a very short phrase, the philosophy of 'no excuses!' We cannot shift that burden onto God, or nature, or the ways of the world.
		Existentialism is a philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

	PHI 310-001: Existentialism
		Existentialism can be understood in relation to (or as a reaction against) modern philosophy, specifically the Enlightenment.
		Existentialist thinkers question the ideals of the Enlightenment and the presuppositions of modern philosophy, in particular the consideration of the rational human subject as the basis of philosophy and reason as the essence of human beings, and the belief that philosophy should concern itself primarily with the objective world.
		Existentialism, while adhering to the idea of the primacy of the human being as the basis of philosophy, questions the primacy of reason and attempts to broaden the meaning of human existence.

	TWO TYPES OF EXISTENTIALISM
		Strict existentialism is still under the influence of a general Cartesian approach to consciousness and reality that dominated three centuries of western thought and culture.
		Human existence is not absurd; rather, its "logic" transcends the traditional limits of formal reasoning.
		Perhaps the most Hegelian sounding phrase in Merleau-Ponty's definition of existentialism is "the idea of a universality which men affirm or imply by the mere fact of their being and at the very moment of their opposition." Placed in the general context of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy, this "universality" is not rational consciousness but pre-reflective, embodied consciousness.

	Camus, Script Directory @ Theatre with Anatoly - Existentialism
		Existentialism is a term applied to a group of attitudes current to philosophical, religious, and artistic thought during and after WW II.
		Existentialism has found art and literature to be unusually effective methods of expression in the novels of Franz Kafka, Dostoevsky, Camus, and Simone de Beauvoir, and in the plays and novels of Sartre, it has found its most persuasive media.
		Existentialism is very valuable as well in its explanation of social conflicts, especially in clashes between cultures.

	Existentialism
		According to Kierkegaard there is a difference between knowledge that is not fully integrated, a sort of outward knowledge, and the integrated knowledge, in which, in a sense, there is no difference between body and soul, theory and practice.
		What especially makes you critical of their natural science point of view is the lack of reference to the subject, the co-inventor of the whole view of the world.
		Therefore, I submit that from an existential perspective, that the only knowledge we have of the universe is through our consciousness of awareness, but that these 'realities' of that universe, exists quite separate from one's own thoughts and cognizant understandings.
