Søren Kierkegaard
Soren Kierkegaard is often considered the father of existentialism in philosophy. His works explored individual freedom, choice, and the struggle for identity in a world devoid of inherent meaning.
Phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, and structuralism are often regarded as components of continental philosophy.
French literature was dominated by the philosophy of existentialism after World War II. Existentialism became a prominent literary and philosophical movement in France during the post-war period, with figures like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus leading the way.
Existentialism was one of the prominent philosophical influences on modernist writers, but not all modernist writers adhered to existentialism. Many modernist writers drew from a variety of philosophical and literary movements, such as surrealism, naturalism, and symbolism, to express their ideas and themes. Existentialism's focus on individual experience, freedom, and the search for meaning resonated with some modernist writers, but it was not the only philosophy impacting their work.
Jean-Paul Sartre is known as the father of atheistic existentialism. He was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who explored themes of freedom, responsibility, and the absence of a higher power in his works.
The five main schools of philosophy are analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, pragmatism, existentialism, and phenomenology. Each school offers different perspectives and methods for understanding the nature of reality, knowledge, and existence.
Existentialism is a philosophical movement that focuses on individual existence, freedom, and choice, emphasizing the subjective experience and responsibility of individuals in creating meaning in their lives. Postmodernism, on the other hand, is a cultural and intellectual movement that emerged in the mid-20th century and questions the validity of universal truths, rejects grand narratives, and embraces diversity, ambiguity, and skepticism towards established beliefs and values. Existentialism is more concerned with individual authenticity and responsibility, while postmodernism challenges traditional authority and questions the nature of truth and reality.
