Now that we’ve left behind the philosophy of religion, it’s time to start exploring what other ways might exist to find meaning in the world. Today we explore essentialism and its response: existentialism. We’ll also learn about Jean-Paul Sartre and his ideas about how to find meaning in a meaningless world.

So EXISTENTIALISM and OPTIMISTIC NHILISM are same ?
Just take war to your grandmother.
Find meaning in this meaningless world and find answer in this answerless world
La esencia del dasein consiste en la existencia.
– Martin Heidegger.
Pretty flippant fella aren’t ya
'Now that we’ve left behind the philosophy of religion, we'll move on to religion.
So I'm paying for youtube premium and I have listen to your embedded commercial for Squarespace? Not cool dude! But in a universe devoid of meaning where a craven tendency toward monetization is perfectly acceptable then I guess it's okay….
My man Nietzsche was never a nihilist, always being misunderstood… smh
Atheism ultimate truth
It's irritating how he sits there in his neat study while explaining things that seem to be placeless
no such thing as x upto or need or absurd or think that etc; think, do an ynmw , not that
This video is so enlightening ivendi realize so many holes and overlaping ideas and contradicting Ideas in my way of thinking… I just.. feel like I have lived my lifrle like I'm not really "there"(truly) and how my actions have consequences.
I wish I was really in control
I

"Should I kill myself or have a cup of coffee?"
Read the Quran
Sarte's left eye has a bit too much freedom from his right eye
me watching this after watching a couple childish gambino interviews is like a hot shower after a long cold day
That makes sense to me.
You left out Dostoevsky, Frankl, and Solzhenitsyn. they were outstanding and added a lot of context to the existential worldview
You're evil.
you've already chose for me when you chose to keep assulting me even today.
This lesson is gonna help me groooow dude
Essentialism makes more sense
Ignorance is bliss
I wish I was religious

It's my crisis and I'll cry if I want to
Die if I want to, eat pie if I want to
You would cry too if an existential crisis happened to you
You are too fast can’t understand really from where you start and where you finish
I think I might be an existentialist Christian to some degree.
Thank you for the video! This was very insightful, interesting, and thought provoking. Yep it's all about the journey, not the destination as my professor always says to me!
thank you sir… it helps me to write my assignment.
Our existence on this earth is makeshift. Our reality was created to be created, yet it was tampered with and changed by an entity. We have freewill but live with the consequences of our actions. Our purpose is what we make it but everything that happened will happen and already happened. Everything you do is already known by the Almighty because you will be who you are meant to be. It's all linear. If you feel like you can break your destiny then that is apart of your destiny. Certain people are given missions for lack of a better term on this earth as well. Existentialism has a few flaws in it's theory and one of them is the theory that the earth is meant to be forever. Everything here is temporary. Make the best of it.

Essentially philosophy of Karma!!
thank you.
I was struggling to understand "existence precedes essence" .. Now with explained background I understood.
I think philosopher should take the time to study sciences 😂💀 absurd thoughts.
Life is pain. Quack.
Putting a purpose into existence is smacking of the need for a designer.
