Existentially Challenged (Deda Files, 2)

Product Information

Gabriel Marcel, long before coining the term "existentialism", introduced important existentialist themes to a French audience in his early essay "Existence and Objectivity" (1925) and in his Metaphysical Journal (1927). [70] A dramatist as well as a philosopher, Marcel found his philosophical starting point in a condition of metaphysical alienation: the human individual searching for harmony in a transient life. Harmony, for Marcel, was to be sought through "secondary reflection", a "dialogical" rather than "dialectical" approach to the world, characterized by "wonder and astonishment" and open to the "presence" of other people and of God rather than merely to "information" about them. For Marcel, such presence implied more than simply being there (as one thing might be in the presence of another thing); it connoted "extravagant" availability, and the willingness to put oneself at the disposal of the other.

Archived from the original on 2010-01-13 . Retrieved 2010-03-08. Paul Tillich, an important existentialist theologian following Kierkegaard and Karl Barth, applied existentialist concepts to Christian theology, and helped introduce existential theology to the general public. His seminal work The Courage to Be follows Kierkegaard's analysis of anxiety and life's absurdity, but puts forward the thesis that modern humans must, via God, achieve selfhood in spite of life's absurdity. Rudolf Bultmann used Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's philosophy of existence to demythologize Christianity by interpreting Christian mythical concepts into existentialist concepts. Copleston, F. C. (2009). "Existentialism". Philosophy. 23 (84): 19–37. doi: 10.1017/S0031819100065955. JSTOR 4544850. S2CID 241337492. Jaspers, a professor at the university of Heidelberg, was acquainted with Heidegger, who held a professorship at Marburg before acceding to Husserl's chair at Freiburg in 1928. They held many philosophical discussions, but later became estranged over Heidegger's support of National Socialism. They shared an admiration for Kierkegaard, [75] and in the 1930s, Heidegger lectured extensively on Nietzsche. Nevertheless, the extent to which Heidegger should be considered an existentialist is debatable. In Being and Time he presented a method of rooting philosophical explanations in human existence ( Dasein) to be analysed in terms of existential categories ( existentiale); and this has led many commentators to treat him as an important figure in the existentialist movement.

The story continues from Differently Morphous where the public has knowledge of extra-dimensional entities and magic, and the consequences thereof; they have rights, and a law passes where fake magic is punishable if it's not real. The main plot follows a mystery regarding a faith healer, a young girl called Miracle Meg, who's cult, for want of a better term, has a large online following by livestreams hosted by the head priest, her father, Miracle Dad, and how she seemingly breaks the established rules of magic healing. She doesn't rapidly age with its use, and claims to be in dual-consciousness with an ancient without hideous deformities. They also come into conflict with the Christian Church. Foe Romance Subtext: Adam initially assumes Victor got a girlfriend. Then when he denies it, Adam guesses boyfriend, but Victor says that Leslie-Ifrig totally has arch-nemesis potential. Adam isn't too keen on this, given they had a pact to get an arch-nemesis together. Leslie-Ifrig pretty clearly has the exact same idea and treats it much more like courting than serious attempts to kill each other. They end up breaking up as nemeses, but stay enemies.

Marcuse, Herbert. "Sartre's Existentialism". Printed in Studies in Critical Philosophy. Translated by Joris De Bres. London: NLB, 1972. p. 161. Will Save the Galaxy for Food, a comedic sci-fi work about space adventurers, just felt like a rehash of previous work, and at this point I thought that maybe I was just overexposed to Croshaw’s particular tics and subject matter and should stop buying his books. Particularly grating was his need to elaborate on every synonym as if his books are just extended Zero Punctuation episodes, showing how one can over-play to one’s strengths. Although many outside Scandinavia consider the term existentialism to have originated from Kierkegaard, it is more likely that Kierkegaard adopted this term (or at least the term "existential" as a description of his philosophy) from the Norwegian poet and literary critic Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven. [20] This assertion comes from two sources: Merleau-Ponty, M. (1962). Phenomenology of Perception[ Colin Smith]. New York: Routledge and Kegan Paul. ISBN 9780710036131.

Did Not Think This Through: The Government wanted to deal with the rash of fake magic scammers (faith healers in particular) that were getting out of hand now that everyone knows magic is real.
