124 Existentialism
Existentialism As defined by Sartre, existence precedes essence, i.e., people have no given identity until they have made specific decisions and have chosen their work and have thereby defined themselves.A mode of philosophy which focuses on the existing individual person; instead of searching for truth in distant universal concepts, existentialism is concerned with the authentic concerns of concrete existing individuals as they face choices and decisions in daily life. (Stumpf, 1994, p. 936)"According to nature," you want to live? O you noble Stoics, what deceptive words these are! Imagine a being like nature, wasteful beyond measure, indifferent beyond measure, without purposes and consideration, without mercy and justice, fertile and desolate and uncertain at the same time; imagine indifference itself as a power-how could you live according to this indifference! (Nietzsche, 1966, p. 15)Historical dictionary of quotations in cognitive science > Existentialism
