Existentialism: An Introduction, Part 6 - Endgame (??)

The sixth video in this series explores how Structuralism eventually displaced Existentialism within continental thought, which then paved the way for the advent of Post-structuralism, Deconstructionism and Post-modernism.

I started looking into existentialism a few weeks ago. It all started with the show "The Good Place" where Kierkegaard is mentioned a couple of times. Hence I stumbled upon your Kierkegaard in 19 minutes and then to this series. It has been very educating for a beginner like myself. I will have to go through these a couple more times and note down all the books you mentioned in the last video. Thank you for all your work and passion. I'm also deeply thankful for those last few minutes in this video.

I wish people like you were in power or advisors to the powerful. It would reduce human suffering so much with so little effort/cost.

I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find a simple explanation for the relationship between language and consciousness. This is easily the best

Holy cow ... structuralism sounds like walking one's wits--a lot of wordplay. We live in the real world.

Eric thank you I overdosed and was dead i as in myself my ego personified flesh self was dead I don't know but I feel it with my awareness and it's not a pain of flesh it's not really fear but somehow all I know is this DARKNESS SO BLACK IT BLINDS SILENCE 🔕 EVEN SO I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM
ALL MY ESSENCE WAS IN A COLLECTIVE EXISTENCE CANT EXPLAIN LIKE IT WAS EMPTYNESS HAS THE ONLY FEELING WHEN I CAME BACK TO LIFE WAS I EMPTINESS AND A FEELING OF SOMETHING MISSING. I WOULDN'T SLEEP BUT ATE SO MUCH AND DRANK SO MUCH OUT OF CONTROL . I DON'T CRY I HAVE SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER MEANINGLESS BUT I UNDERSTAND WHEN I AM MANIC I UNDERSTAND WHEN INFLICT PAIN IT'S NOT ENJOYABLE AS IT USED TO BE SEXUAL PLEASURES IS DULL VERY DULL I KNOW ALL LIFE IS SUFFERING WE MUST HAVE COURAGE TO SUFFER THE JOYS OF THE ABSURDITY OF LIFE WE MUST UNDERSTAND DEATH IS THE END RESULT IT SHOULDN'T BE FEARED FOR MY OVERDOSE WAS PAINFULLY MY I STOPPED BREATHING MY HEART STOPPED MY BRAIN DEAD I was fucked I don't have any idea why I revived from nothing minutes I was dead. There was no dreams of heaven there was no thinking at all I was dead then I was alive. It was like when you unplug a computer the image fades to black what was there is empty and hollow a void. This one feels this listen as we were in the what I call the collective or the void we were apart of a whole the substance the all it is as a hive mind all is one and one is all as like a energy kinda thing but it formed an idea 💡 with made reality for us to each get an opportunity a cruel joke kinda but to exist for only once to experience the suffering of life Birth Sickness Old Age and Death are the absolute no escape we have no free will we have to rid ourselves of ego as I free Ego us as in Humans are evil selfish and vain we create to be as the collective aka what is reality God not of any man made thing but we exist from ourselves so once any individual dies that reality is ripped and never was im losing you here but listen life for yourself experience life enjoy all you can because we are cursed by birth plagued by life suffer in silence as darkness is all we will return to.
Yes if you experience what I have life will be dull and you are only content because your still experiencing but I just wait for the time the cord is cut existence never was I am there for I am
I never was as Existence being over t
Means it never happened

[PeterZeeke]

I wonder how Eric views the current police issues plaguing the world in relation to the end of this video
