Existentialism: Nihilism and Rethinking Value Systems

By: Cruz Matthews

Narrated by: Sarah Owens

Existentialism is a basic terminology concept for theorists that think of the nature of the human condition as a fundamental essence of philosophical issues and who also share the view that this problem is best resolved through ontology. This very broad definition will be clarified by going over seven crucial themes that existentialist thinkers address. Those thinkers considered existentialists are mainly from the continent of Europe and date from the 19th and 20th centuries. Outside philosophy, the existentialist movement is probably the most popular philosophical movement, and at least two of its members are among the most well-known philosophical characters and widely followed philosophical authors.

In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the nature of existentialism and nihilism, two coexisting philosophies that have embraced by many. Nietzsche and Kierkegaard play a major role in these movements, so their works will be quoted and explained.

30% good 70% bad - but might worth it

Before I begin I read 5 books on nihilism already…

70% of the time (first chapter) the author talks about existentialism. This chapter is bad since I didn’t got anything from it, not understand existentialism better or even what it is. Sorry.

30% of the time (second chapter) is okay talks about nihilism. Again, you need to know nihilism to understand what she says. So not the best material. It mainly talks about purpose and how it is connected to values and devaluation of those values. This is OKAY.

The only reason I don’t try to return it is because it is less than a coffee cheap, so the idea in chapter 2 is worth the little amount of money spent.

Just be sure to understand that probably the useful stuff is only 20min…

If anytime in the future I will reread it and understand more so it has hidden value I will update.
