Record 3 1999-12-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Existentialist Doctrines
DEF

Existentialism is really nothing more than clever irrationalism and contradictions that heralds Kierkegaard's "individual responsibility" while negating genuine self-responsibility. Moreover, cloaked in pragmatic non sequiturs or good-sounding rationalizatiaons, existentialism claims that reality does not exist. Thus, the meaning of existentialism is impossible to objectively define or understand. For existentialism is nothing. And nothing can be attached to nothing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Doctrines existentialistes
DEF

Doctrine philosophique, selon laquelle l'existence de l'homme précède son essence, lui laissant la liberté et la responsabilité de se choisir.
