19.08.2009 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
Contrary to the animals, which are determined by fixed instincts and patterns of action, man must still seek his own patterns of action: "Existence precedes the being." - This fact, Sartre said, had always been misunderstood by the theologians and philosophers - The only existential existence in man is his feeling: the disgust, the anxiety, the care, the boredom and the feeling of the absurd (see e.g. S. Beckett etc. - d.48)! - Sartre called his philosophy existentialism! - Sartre's life remained exciting until his death in 1980 - He was the most important French intellectual of the 20th century, and a much respected moral authority. However, his perception of man's freedom was realistic. Is the individual really so free from inner and outer constraints that he can design himself as the artist does his work of art? - It was no wonder that the total exertion of existentialism had to be just as outmoded as the Christian model of "loving others as themselves" - or the psychological overburdens of socialism! - Whether I can realize myself is also depending on my material freedom, i.e. my financial possibilities! - The question of freedom through, - and the dependence on property ... (R.D. Precht)

The "feeling of the absurd" as exemplified by Samuel Beckett's work refers to the realization that life may be meaningless or without purpose, and that the human attempt to find meaning or order in the universe is ultimately futile. This feeling is often characterized by a sense of disorientation, dread, and a lack of connection between ourselves and the world around us.
Elaboration:
Absurdism and the Absurd:
Absurdism, as explored in the Theatre of the Absurd, is a philosophical and theatrical movement that explores the conflict between human existence and an indifferent universe. The feeling of the absurd, as discussed by Albert Camus, is a response to this conflict, a sense of "strangeness" or "absurdity" arising from the clash between our desire for meaning and the apparent meaninglessness of the world.
Samuel Beckett's Works:
Beckett, a key figure in the Theatre of the Absurd, explores this feeling through his plays like Waiting for Godot and Endgame. His characters often engage in repetitive, meaningless actions, waiting for something that may never come. The lack of clear plot or traditional dramatic structure, the dislocated language, and the settings that seem both hauntingly poetic and vaguely uncomfortable contribute to the overall feeling of absurdity.
Examples in Beckett's Plays:
Waiting for Godot: The characters Vladimir and Estragon spend their time waiting for Godot, a figure they never meet, highlighting the futility of their actions and the meaninglessness of their existence.
Endgame: The characters in Endgame are trapped in a desolate room, their lives dictated by the cruel and manipulative Hamm, further emphasizing the lack of control and the inherent absurdity of their situation.
Beyond Literature:
The concept of the absurd is not limited to literature or theatre. It has broader implications for philosophy, psychology, and even everyday life. The feeling of the absurd can be a response to any situation where we encounter a lack of meaning, purpose, or order.

Yes, it's accurate to say that Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy is generally referred to as existentialism. Sartre was a central figure in the development of this philosophical school of thought, which emphasizes individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in a meaningless world.
Here's why:
Sartre's Defining Work:
Sartre's major philosophical work, Being and Nothingness, explores the concept of existence preceding essence, a central tenet of existentialism. This means that humans are not born with a fixed purpose or nature, but rather define themselves through their choices and actions.
Atheistic Existentialism:
Sartre's existentialism is also often associated with atheism. He argued that the absence of God or a pre-determined purpose leaves individuals with the freedom and responsibility to create their own values and meaning in life.
Influence on Existentialism:
Sartre's ideas, particularly his emphasis on individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning, significantly influenced the development of existentialism as a whole.
Common Term:
Sartre is widely recognized as a key figure in existentialism, and his philosophy is often referred to as existentialism, especially in philosophical circles.
