Discussion notes:
Essentialist vs Existence
-existentialist-first:sense impressions are 1st. Confirmation of existence
-Descartes-essences-1st Conciousness
-thinking substance-essence of existence
-Hegel: basic consciousness- self-consciousness
goal manifest-world spirit=mystical? Not religious
Dialectic:Thesis:Antithesis:Synthesis
-system of truth:accuracy
-Kierkegaard: Aesthetic-Ethnic (Ex: Crime and Punishment)
-Aesthetic:one who cultivates devotion to (beauty) living the moment
-"lives every moment of enjoyment...slave to his own desires"
-completely on the individual person (conflicts)
-ethical conflict. "What we value"
-internally-also from society
-restraining yourself, Christian value system. Impact them or not
-'choose to have a opinion' right or wrong "why not kill?"
-objective morality-choice to be relative
-God telling you what to do-commanding you
-Joke in class: "Having faith from falling down a cliff and ability to just let go"
-Dimensions in life-unknowable. moral: self-preservation. irrational
-ability to understand, and commitment.
