What Is Existentialism?

In this Episode, we provide an abbreviated answer to the question: What is Existentialism? The majority of this episode is a paraphrase of my two-volume set titled, What Is Existentialism? Most people make the mistake of thinking that Sartre's philosophy is the answer to the question: What is Existentialism? But Sartre's philosophy represents only one variety of Existentialism. Famously Heidegger disagreed with Sartre, even though Sartre's book Being & Nothingness was heavily influenced by Heidegger's Being & Time. Of course, any answer to the question "What is Existentialism?" would also need to take, at least, the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche into account. Since the 1940s scholars (including those found in the Cambridge Companion to Existentialism) have said there is no such thing as "Existentialism." After hearing this episode, you should have a pretty good idea why they're wrong..Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.Accessible through this Linktree link:https://linktr.ee/philosophemes.The Existentialism Book:http://shepherd.com/book/what-is-existentialism-vol-i.Amazon Author Page:https://amzn.to/4cM6nzf.Epidemic Sound Referral Link:https://share.epidemicsound.com/ann4jg.Waves Referral Link:https://www.waves.com/r/1268613.Coffee?
