Summary |
Existentialism is a broad philosophy with a fluid definition: its labelling is not fixed (rejected, even, by proponents such as Camus); it may or may not involve religion; and encompasses concepts such as authenticity, absurdity, and freedom. To summarize succinctly, per Steven Crowell (2020), it's a "philosophical theory which holds that a further set of categories, governed by the norm of authenticity, is necessary to grasp human existence". This category, Existentialism, Misc, is similarly a broad banner characterizing contributions to existentialist philosophy. In a nutshell, this includes (but is not limited to): early European reviews of existentialism; critiques of 20th century existentialist philosophers; interdisciplinary applications of existentialist thought in psychology, education, technology, games, social media (and others); existentialism's links to analytic philosophy; existentialism and intersectionality; the future of existentialism and its increasing relevance in today's context. |
