WHO coined the term existentialism and what is it?
Jean-Paul Sartre coined the term, though the concepts were in discussion for nearly a century prior by men like Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Camus, and Kafka, among many others. It is essentially the belief that life has no higher purpose, no inherent value, and that it is the duty of every man to give his own life purpose and define his own values. I highly recommend Sartre's "Existentialism is a Humanism" - it's a short, concise snapshot of existentialism as a belief system.
What are some famous quotes from Revolutionaries?
from <http://www.enotes.com/famous-quotes/every-revolutionary-ends-by-becoming-either-an> The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal. - Erich Fromm Every revolutionary ends by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic. - Albert Camus The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution. - Hannah Arendt I must make the important distinction between the rebel and the revolutionary. One is in ineradicable opposition to the other. The revolutionary seeks an external political change.... The origin of the term is the word revolve, literally meaning a turnover, as the revolution of a wheel. When the conditions under a given government are insufferable some groups may seek to break down that government in the conviction that any new form cannot but be better. Many revolutions, however, simply substitute one kind of government for another, the second no better than the first-which leaves the individual citizen, who has had to endure the inevitable anarchy between the two, worse off than before. Revolution may do more harm than good. The rebel ... seeks above all an internal change, a change in the attitudes, emotions, and outlook of the people to whom he is devoted. He often seems to be temperamentally unable to accept success and the ease it brings; he kicks against the pricks, and when one frontier is conquered, he soon becomes ill-at-ease and pushes on to the new frontier. He is drawn to the unquiet minds and spirits, for he shares their everlasting inability to accept stultifying control. - Rollo May The rebel, unlike the revolutionary, does not attempt to undermine the social order as a whole. The rebel attacks the tyrant; the revolutionary attacks tyranny. I grant that there are rebels who regard all governments as tyrannical; nonetheless, it is abuses that they condemn, not power itself. Revolutionaries, on the other hand, are convinced that the evil does not lie in the excesses of the constituted order but in order itself. The difference, it seems to me, is considerable. - Octavio Paz It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees! - Dolores Ibarruri (La Pasionaria)
