#Barbie the #Existentialist
by Santiago Ramos
"Another existentialist, Martin #Heidegger, said that human beings spend most of their lives in a default state of 'average everydayness,' going from one unthinking task to the next. ... As Albert #Camus put it, 'At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any [Barbie or Ken] in the face.' When that happens, Barbie learns the main truth of her existence: she is 'being-toward-death.'"

HOLY SHIT S2E19 feels like a DEFINITIVE PROOF that #CommunityShow is an #existentialist show
#communityshow #existentialist
I believe Community™ Might be an #existentialist show.
Constantly questioning the nature of reality through abed. Expression of moral ambiguity and constant (almost) conclusionless moral clashes within the group, and a push to exercise moral agency even from thr most nihilistic. An obvious critical study into gender identity, norms and roles, with ambiguity being a part of it. Constant search for purpose within the study group and reflection on life choices, consequences and responsibilites.

@mariapopova Superb masterpiece from #Nussbaum. It’s interesting that, on the one hand, #Sartre is one of the those anti-#stoical philosophers who saw #emotions as detached from #reason & therefore akin to, eg, #hysteria & #rage, whilst on the other hand, now with his #existentialist hat on, Sartre’s classic work on #JeanGenet sits more comfortably with what we might call Nussbaum’s ‘neo-stoicism’ (she may have called it that herself). Outstanding thinker working on the coalfront

He farmed until 1944, then moving to Dublin. His main philosophical contributions was on #existentialist philosophy: an account of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre called "A journey through dread" (1955) and keeping of a journal recording his philosophical enquiry published in two parts.

My 1st #introduction was pretty weak. Let's give this another shot.
I'm a #husband and #father first.
I'm a #TattooArtist and digital/traditional #artist with an obsession with #philosophy and learning.
I love #TTRPG - Especially #Pathfinder and #Pathfinder2E -- and I'm currently #LFG
#Creativity is the lens I use to look at the world -- because it is infinitely more powerful than destruction. Make better things -- and stop breaking stuff.

@kevmarmol #Humanism, rather like #Existentialism, is not necessarily atheïstic. One does encounter #Christian #Humanists / #Humanist #Christians just as one may find Christian Z #Existentialist s.

Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a brilliant artist and humanitarian who is not well known among regular folk outside her native Germany.
If you're ever in #Berlin, do set aside time to visit the wonderful museum dedicated to her work in Charlottenberg. Kollwitz' work depicts #existentialist themes, and is focused on the #proletariat, #women, the plight of the #poor and on victims of #war. Basically super relevant today.
