Existentialism

I'm writing thise blog as a part of assignment assigned by our professor Dr.Dilip Barad sir. The main motive of thise blog is to know about how flip learning can be done and I'll dive into the topic and videos which I came across during thise flipped learning. 

■ About Flipped learning 

Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group pace is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter. 

Flipped Learning shifts the classroom from passive to active learning, focusing on higher order thinking skills such as evaluating, analysing, and creating to engage students in learning. The approach relies on understanding the difference between information and knowledge acquisition, providing students with active learning possibilities. Students are given opportunities to take greater responsibility for their own learning. 

■ Existentialism 

Existentialism is the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives. Our individual purpose and meaning is not given to us by Gods, governments, teachers or other authorities.

So, now I'll be discussing about some  of the learning outcomes from the video's which helped me to known much about the Existentialism. Here I'm sharing a link of all the Video.

Video 1

From these video the  things I like is that, some of the philosopher's like Albert Camus says that believing in God is philosophical suicide for them.

 

They all differ from their perspective but have the same believe on existentialism. There's a triangle of Individuality,  freedom and passion in existentialism.

Video 2

In these video it it is talked about the ' Myth of Sisyphus ' by Albert Camus, where he talked about ' An Absurd Reasoning '.

The one thing that I liked the most in these video is the sentence from the 2005 movie ' Stay ' , a thriller and mystery movie. Which says that "An elegant Suicide is  the ultimate work of art."

Video 3

The thought I like the most in these video is, Camus says in reply to Shestov's, that it is useless and there is nothing beyond reason. This is why Camus is not ready to call himself as existentialist instead he calls himself as Absurdist. 

The negation leads to suicide ' For existentialist negation is their god.

Video 4

Dadaism pushes an individual towards questioning the value which others have created.

Dadaism and Nihilism have nothing to do with each other. Dadaism was the response to WWI just as existentialism was the response to WWII. 

Video 5

In thise video I get to know about the Existentialism is that, it is a gloomy philosophy  and is narcissists philosophy.

 

Existentialism is not Nihilism. After WWII people left with despair it was such an situation that come to existentialism. 

Video 6 

The impressive information I found in these video is that, Nietzsche fails to realize that all suicide have the responsibility of fighting against the temptation of suicide these responsibility entails rebellion.

Camus wrote in his ' The Myth of Sisyphus ' and ' The Rebel ' to argue why rebellion is the only proper response to the absurdity of life.

Video 7

In these video it is said that, there's a rejection and problems in the All- Encompassing system. They do not adequately take into account what it it is like to be human. 

For as Nietzsche put it we are ultimately much to his children. ' Human all too human '. Existentialist stress that what we need most is not a dive perspective of the human condition but a human perspective. 

" Existence precedes Essence ". This idea was put forth by Jean - Paul Sartre in a 1945 lecture titled " Is Existentialism a Humanism."

Video 8

Nietzsche believed that there is no need to behave in a rules that we made and can make our own rules. In fact for deciding what's bad and what's good is a part of what Nietzsche called being an Ubermatch which is a German. 

Video 9

The best part about these video is that when Nietzsche said that, "Injustice and filth they throw after the lonely one: but, my brother, if you would be a star, you must not shine less for them because of that. And beware of the good and the just! They like to crucify those who invent their own virtue for themselves-they hate the lonely one." 

Video 10

In these video there are several thoughts such as, the literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.

The another one is, you might think that there's some authority you could look for answers, but all of authority you can think of is fake. 

There's also another one that is, if there are  no guideline for our actions, then each of us is forced to design our own moral code, to invent a morality to live by.

■ The video which I like the most and why.

The video which I liked the most is the 9th one which has a very impactful content which talks about the personal experience of an individual and is trying to give solution for their questions. These video very well talks about the human thought that says that everyone should think in a way which can make you do live life existentially.

● Top 10 things to know as an individual 

# Remember that you're born to a brilliant and terrifying universe.

# Build responsible community. 

# Recover the ability to play.

# Inhabitant the present moment. 

# Learn to live with passion. 

#  See how free you can be.

# Lay claim to your power in life.

# Start relating to the big picture. 

# Question what you have been told.

# Honor life difficult experiences. 

These are some of the attractive things about these video.

■ Learning outcome of these activity. 

First of all these is a very unique way of learning things individually without any disturbance. These activity taught me the things which I have never been gone through. These activity gave me a more clear concept about the existentialism philosophy. Now I can confidently share a proper information and knowledge about these concept. 

■ There are some questions which I has while watching the videos. 

1. How relevant are existentialist ideas regarding freedom, responsibility, and meaning-making in the context of contemporary issues like technological advancements and global challenges? Video 1

2. Dada artists often blurred the lines between artist and audience, inviting participation and challenging the traditional role of the artist as a creator. How did this approach impact the perception of the artist and their role in society? Video 4

3. How do the views of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard on individual freedom and responsibility differ, despite both being considered foundational figures in existentialism? Video 6

4. Dostoevsky's often grapple with existential themes, he himself held a strong Christian faith. How does this adjust with the secular nature of other existentialist thinkers? Video 7

5. Imagine a world where technology could perfectly fulfill all human desires, eliminating the need for individual struggle and choice. In this context, would existentialist concepts of freedom and responsibility still hold any meaning? Video 9

■ Conclusion 

The above given Flipped learning was a task in which I have talked much about existentialism. Whereas we can also find the difference amongst Dadaism and Nihilism. Some existentialist have suggested that it is essential for an individual to face their impending death.

Existentialist see a benefit to facing up to our morality. Existentialism is all about our ability to make free choices give us the chance to sculpt a unique essence for ourselves during the course of our lifetime.

Thank you🌻.
