Makala hii inachunguza usawiri wa Nadharia ya Udhanaishi katika misemo ya Kiswahili. Nadharia ya Udhanaishi inahoji kuhusu kifo na maana ya maisha. Kila jamii inafungamana na imani, itikadi, mwelekeo na falsafa mahususi. Uhai, maisha na kifo hufasiliwa na jamii kupitia lugha na fasihi ya jamii husika.

Abstract The paper explores emotional abilities from the (neo-)existentialist perspectives of Jean-Paul Sartre and Richard Moran. First, it reconstructs Sartre’s understanding of emotions as active comportments achieving a magical transformation of the world. Second, it explores what existentialists mean by first-person authority: Regarding my own emotions, I cannot only explore what I feel, but I also need to ask myself what to feel. The claim is that my emotions depend on me committing to them. Third, I highlight a difference between a neo-existentialist account which focuses on reflective s

This research investigates unconventional approaches to morality within an existentialist framework, focusing on pivotal thinkers such as Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. Existentialism emerged as a response to the erosion of traditional religious and metaphysical frameworks in modernity, prompting existentialists to confront fundamental questions about the foundations of morality in a world devoid of transcendent norms. The study explores how existentialist thinkers conceptualize morality in the absence of traditional religious or metaphysical frameworks, critically examining thei

Primarily introduced through the works of a Danish scholar Søren Kierkegaard in nineteenth century, existentialism is in fact a socio-personal philosophy, which assumes man as radically free, while he is captivated in the inevitable chains of social responsibilities and commitments.

The philosophy of existentialism, is a philosophy with the main thought being "existence precedes the essence" that man exists first, then in life he gives meaning or essence to his life by focusing on individual experiences. Existentialism gives individuals a way of thinking about life, what it means to me, what is true for me. Existentialist epistemology assumes that individuals are responsible for their own knowledge.

This discussion brings to light a severe inconsistency in the existentialist project. I argue that the claim can nevertheless serve as a starting point for an independent theory of action.

Abstract:

Ideas and themes central to both cybernetics and existentialist philosophy converge in the work of some of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists. Utilizing little or no technology, these artists nonetheless employ “systems” approaches and protocybernetic models, while simultaneously exploring themes directly related to existentialism.

It demonstrates that while terminologies may differ, many of the three fields' primary concerns closely cohere.

Abstract:

This research explores the application of Martin Heidegger's existentialist philosophy, especially the concept of Dasein, as a paradigm in Islamic Religious Education. This research examines how Heidegger's principles- self-awareness, freedom, and moral responsibility- can overcome the limitations of traditional dogmatic approaches in Islamic Religious Education, which often lack reflection. Using qualitative-descriptive methods and philosophical analysis, this research integrates Heidegger's existentialism with reflective pedagogy to offer an innovative teaching model.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is twofold: Existentialism as a philosophical discipline and ethical reference point seems to be a rare guest in ecocriticism. Based on an analysis of Lyra Koli's climate fiction Allting Växer (2018) this article argues that existentialism has something to offer to the ecocritical field. I make use of an econarratological approach, drawing on James Phelan's narrative ethics. Thus, I emphasize the article's second purpose, as narrative ethics is about reconstructing narratives own ethical standards rather than the reader bringing a prefabricated ethical system to the

Abstract:

Existentialism is a philosophy and its methodological roots come from the phenomological method developed by Hussel. Existentialism is closely related to education. This is because the center of existentialism's discussion is human existence, while education is only carried out by humans. The aim of education is to encourage every individual to be able to develop all his potential for self-fulfillment. The implication of the philosophy of existentialism in education is to provide broad and comprehensive experience in all forms of life. The goal of existential education is human freedom. Existe

Abstract   This paper analyzes Haruki Murakami’s novel “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle,” focusing on the protagonist Toru Okada’s journey to quest for his true identity. He feels isolated from society due to his unemployment and the role of his wife, Kumiko, as the breadwinner. The novel blends realistic and fantastical elements to depict Okada's encounter with strange and dream-like events using the concept of magical realism. This paper also focuses on Albert Camus's idea of existentialism, specifically the concept of "absurd." Existentialists argue that life can see

Abstract:

This article examines Sartre’s works in which his attempt to find an existentialist ethics is evident. Most of the clues to this project are to be found in texts published posthumously since during his lifetime he never managed to fulfil the promise he made at the end of Being and Nothingness. It will be argued that this existentialist ethics owes a strong debt to Kantian philosophy, even if it confronts more directly the historical dynamics of violence and oppression. Despite the fact that this project is unfinished and only sketched out, it is possible to ask what Sartre’s direction of devel

Abstract:

In a non-German-speaking environment is Jaspers sometimes mistakenly called as an existentialist. But Jaspers saw himself as a philosopher of existence, and he sharply criticized existentialism. This error arose because of confusion in the translations of the names Existenzphilosophie and Existentialismus from German into other languages. The difference between these terms was actively discussed immediately after Sartre’s lecture on humanism, in which Sartre, as he thought, announced a new direction in philosophy — existentialism (Existentialisme), to which he also included Jaspers as a religi

Abstract:

According to Peyre (1948:21), the fathers and forefathers of existentialism were mostly Germans, but it was adapted and transformed by the French and was re-exported to the rest of the world. Peyre’s inference reduces the history of existentialism to a nutshell. Existentialism can be defined as an intellectual movement that reflects all aspects of modern life. In literature, this theory acts as a useful approach to analysing literary works in order to make sense of the complexities, contradictions and dilemmas surrounding the characters.

Previous studies on these poets, especially Ojaide, have neglected the individualistic nature of their poetry and stereotyped the poets. This article, thus, brings a new approach to the critical debates and scholarship on these poets. The aim of the article is to show the individualistic and existentialist nature of the poetry of Frost and Ojaide. In the analysis, individualism is examined at the level of

Abstract:

Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot revolutionized the conventional theatre and redefined norms which shaped twentieth century drama. The play launched an absurdist style of writing on the landscape of drama which gave the life of performance to the intellectual existentialist ideals of Soren Aabaye Kierkegaard´s and Jean-Paul Sartre´s philosophy. This research paper analyses the elements of Existentialism with respect to supportive evidence from the play.
