look at the world, to think, to live existentially - it is really a special way of life, or another dust in the eyes is not enough educated man in the street?
Any first-year student will tell you that existentialism - is quite young (he was about a hundred years) philosophical direction, develops first in Germany, then in France, and Russia.Over time, it has conquered the whole world.
term is translated from Latin means "existence".The main idea of the teachings of man himself determines the meaning of its essence, is already born.Living, making mistakes, and exploits every day he makes himself through choice.Therefore, the category of freedom is removed a huge role, seeing it as a set of opportunities and responsibilities at the same time.This man, thinking existentially - is the traveler who is in search of yourself, your sense of life constantly aware of its daily changing nature.
Coming out of the cradle philosophy, a new trend has gained followers in other areas of public life.In particular this applies to pedagogy and psychology.Existential approach in psychology considers any human problem as a unique and unrepeatable, it avoids the use of classifications and patterns.The main purpose - to help understand the reality and to develop their attitude to it as to live existentially - to be free from foreign assessments and opinions, convictions and endorsements.
new trend has developed in pedagogy.This was reflected in the allocation of basic knowledge that everyone should have.Among the most important of all sciences, derived existentially - a science to know yourself and to outline the positive path of development and self-improvement.At the same time education must help to solve the essential problems of man, which include questions of life and death, freedom and choice, responsibility, communication and loneliness.Inattention to these problems can lead to a crisis of human existence, which is associated with deviant and delinquent behavior, psychological disorders and even suicidal tendencies.In this regard, building a new, existential education strategy, which centers - a man and his problems.
Thus, existentialism - a concept which appeared already beyond philosophy and filling various aspects of society.Therefore, it is justified its use in a variety of everyday situations.It becomes clear that the existential human being has the following characteristics: is looking for the essence of his life, its meaning and purpose;It lays responsibility not only a personal choice, but also for loved ones;He understands that people are interconnected and influence each other;ready to meet Nothing, that is, death - this meeting will free him from the shackles of public opinion and social conventions.Perhaps modern existential thinker, a person different from the characters of Sartre or Camus, but also appeal to their works will fill the philosophical term new shades, giving it vitality.
