[Is the cosmos meaningless, as expressed by various thinkers called "Existentialists". I think not. ] If the cosmos has meaning, then what is this meaning??...
The meaning for you Eduard is this:Each plane that emerges in the evolution contains the seed of the following planes. So the plane of matter which emerges...
This is a gross misrepresentation of both Camus and the body of existentialist thinking. Camus' logic of the absurd is not meaninglessness, and other writers...
The attribution of this concept is probably more attributable to nihilism which is itself also confused with existentialism. Here too Nietzsche's philosophy,...
I have simply taken from what is put out by the existlist owner in the FAQ LINKS. He however does tell us his material does not serve as a study list for...
Bill, m The foremost mistake non-existential thinkers make participating here is telling someone what their meaning should be. I think the only thinkers who've...
... An absurdist like we entertained a few years ago could have been seen to run into Camus until you found out he did not accept any reality including...

You are WRONG. Conscious experience is a part of what we ARE. But you rely on beliefs and what you THINK as the arbiter of truth. And which is idiotic rubbish...
How is authenticity tied to freedom and responsibility?? Are you suggesting that even though a person may act as they think, they cannot be authentic because...
[a consummation in a deployment of the spirit's self knowledge and self-power of its divine being and consciousness is the culmination] One could very well...
eduard, You're probably right about my assessment of right wing obstructionists. I can't possibly know what or that they think at all. It matters whether I...
eduard, Are your objections to existential concepts because they aren't differentiated enough from common sense and cultural moral norms or due to the fact...
[Are you saying political involvement is wrong, or are you saying that because everyone probably acts authentically, we've no basis at all to oppose them? ] ...
Where do you get the idea that I have objection to existential concepts?? I am using the concept of authenticity. I am not objecting to it. I am not saying...
Fair enough, eduard, there is authentic evil. It's just I've never heard anyone equate a terrorist with authenticity, freedom, and responsibility before now....
Evil is evil, no doubt; it is not divine and it is not an illusion. It is a real blot on the fair face of creation. Its existence cannot be justified in the...
"Freedom is not a being: it is the being of man, that is to say, his not-being". A very cryptic mantra. Let us try to unveil the Shekinah. "Being" means...

Salvation or Deliverance These are predominantly religious terms and very common, if not central to christianity. Neither of which are my thing. But so many...
The existentialist proof for whether someone is acting authentically is whether they acknowledge intersubjectivity. An authentically evil person is responsible...
Why?? Why should we have to consider whether the authentically evil person is responsible for someone else?? What has the "other" got to do with anything??...
But eduard what you've just now espoused is radical individualism, and it conflicts with what wrote you wrote previously: "I am not advocating radical...
