10 Things you need to know about Existentialism and why it matters today

  • Summary

  • “There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.” ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

    In today's episode we explore 10 Things you need to know about Existentialism and why it matters today. Existentialism is a philosophy investigating the human condition, and with that exploring the problem of human existence, with an emphasis on the individual who starts in an apparently meaningless world, and who seeks to create meaning in a world without inherent meaning. Existentialism purports that humans have the free will to determine their own path in life. Existentialists believe existence is individual to each human being, and that we create our own identity to give meaning to our existence.
