Existentialism: Thinking about thinking
Explanation:chiefly 20th century philosophical movement
embracing diverse doctrines but centering on analysis of individual existence in an
unfathomable universe and the plight of the individual who must assume ultimate
responsibility for acts of free will without any certain knowledge of what is
right or wrong or good or bad
o
“We're always thinking of eternity as an idea
that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if,
instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like
a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that's all
eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can't help feeling that that's what it is.”
o “Dreams appear much more prominent and clear when the dreamer is in an
unhealthy state - they have an extraordinary semblance of reality. Most
monstrous pictures are put together but all the circumstances are so subtly
interwoven the details so artistically harmonious in every minute respect as to
defy human imitation. Such morbid dreams are always recollected for very long
and produce strong impressions on the disordered and already excited organs of
the dreamer.”
