This man is great! He is passionate about his lectures and trying to explain it in a way that students who don't really care for the class can relate to and understand.
The way in which Daniel Bonevac explains Albert Camus' philosophy is so powerful, clear and inspiring. Thank you for sharing these ideas in such a crystal clear and passionate fashion.
Alienation is something you either do or do not feel 'existentially'. It's unlikely a university professor will feel alienation, they spend their time amongst people very like them. But what if one day a university philosophy professor finds himself living amongst ordinary high school dropouts and working at McDonalds. People do not really become aware that life is absurd until the absurdity of life becomes impossible to ignore, often because of circumstance.
I know I already made a comment, but that was part-way into the lecture. I've now finished it, and I have to say it's the clearest, most understandable coverage of existentialism that I've ever seen. And delivered with such obvious passion! Bravo, Prof. Bonevac! I'm a teacher myself, and I could have listened to you delivering a lecture 3x longer. Have a subscription :)
Halfway through and I just have to say how fantastic I think this is. A proffessor with such passion for what he does. Would be awesome to have a teacher like that. Thanks, this inspired me.
I've read and watched plenty about existentialism, and this is the first time ever that someone has defined "essence" in a way that makes sense - intrinsic function. Humans have biological and perhaps psychological characteristics, but we have no intrinsic function *in the world*. This is why we must choose our own function. Thankyou, professor, for finally clarifying this!
This was an amazing lecture. I'm currently working on a research project based on Existentialism, and this lecture gave me a massive insight as to what Existentialism is as well as the important figures who played a role in the movement. Thank you very much for this magnificent video!
Existentialism is primarily a reaction (in my view) to the loss of certainty which began with the Copernican revolution -- and a broad recognition of the necessity of choice as the price each of us must pay for our short-term lease on existence. You are radically free, but the freedom is not unlimited: there is no escape, for example, from the need to make choices -- to love, to hate, to establish the "brotherhood of man" as an axiom to live by in a world of uncertainty and value pluralism. Let this good lecture be a starting point, not an ending, of your _own_ journey.
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche do affirm that we have no essence and that it is up to the individual to affirm themselves through pathos. For Kierkegaard this is Christianity, for Nietzsche this is artistic self expression. You could maybe call Kant or Hegel a proto-existentialist, but Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are certainly focused on the question of existence and the intrinsic meaning of existence
Thank you for this I've always grappled with the meaning of existentialism when really the word exist is in it. I can remember in French class we learned about this and it went over our heads
Really enjoyed your lecture. I'm studying for my Psych GRE Subject Test and was trying to better understand existentialism. You really helped. THANKS! :D
I wish my professor were like this guy he teaches so great! My philosophy professor used to be a cop in Jersey. He’s a very militant guy screams most of the time, super strict, and it feels like philosophy boot camp in the literal sense almost haha.
Moral of the story - please be more like Analytic Philosophers, see what there is, then think about it and figure things out but don't forget to that it is a _theory_ and be open to changes to it. Don't instead start with preconceived ideas and expectations and then become Existentialists when the world turns out different to the extent of seeming cruelly indifferent and very baffling.
Thanks for the lectures, Dr. Bonevac. For me, alienation to the circumstances of one's life as a result of being thrown into existence in a particular time and place is a consequence of knowing that the attachment that we feel to our circumstances is reflexive and not deliberate, since if we had been thrown into an utterly different time and place, we would reflexively feel an attachment to those circumstances as well. This part of existentialism to me seems to follow directly from the scientific image you like to start your lectures with, an image where earth is just another planet among many, sol another star among many, and my consciousness another consciousness among many, with no special status for me to appreciate intellectually and then find reasons to endorse. The fact of alienation in existentialism seems to me to be a requisite idea for understanding why existence is said by many existentialist philosophers to be absurd.
This guy is a great orator. And that's a good thing, because I had to watch this 4 times to understand what he;s saying. Now I want to hear him talk about free-will.
Got a Jordan Peterson video recommended under this, which is really sad considering how many leagues are between the two professors understanding of philosophers and philosophical concepts. Wish the 700k views on that video went here instead.
Existentialism also exist in the manner of psychology, which is where Peterson excels. However, philosophical and psychological existentialism do not really differ greatly. The roots remain the same
Lol. That student who sighed "Everyday" when the professor said something about how we all feel like "I don't want to this anymore" or something like that. I can relate. x')
wow, i didn't know that channel Henri le Chat Noir. I have just watched some. I love it! thanks for the suggestion! (You said it was a cat with a French accent? The videos that I just saw were actually all in French with an English accent)
What life means What it’s all about What is the point of existing Alienation from the world as a whole Stranger in the world Absurdity Lack of meaning It has whatever meaning you give Humans are radically free Existence precedes essence
Great lecture. Annoying squeaking desk. So may times I was getting into what you said, there's this squeaking desk(chair?)! Get rid of that thing... or are all the desks that way?
Honestly I think Aristotle view on existentialism is smarter. OK, we are free to define our lives and give it whatever meaning we want, but what happens when we fail (our plans fail)? Some existentialists might be frustrated and commit suicide. But most of them don't. And here is Aristotle's essence: we might have failed very bad, but we might choose to continue because we seek something else, way inferior to our initial plan - we failed to accomplish the great things but i still want to taste that BigMc at Mc'Donalds or see that movie or football match etc. And this is the essence we see in all people, no matter if existentialists or not. Is always there, in every human. And it is the thing that prevents the majority of existentialists of commiting suicide after a big fail. Many many thanks for your videos!
Normal people cannot assign a meaning of their choosing to Life (as Camus argues), because biology overrides our wishes. If you hit your thumb with a hammer, you can try to say to yourself: "This is exactly what I wanted, and it gives me great joy." In reality, you will feel intense pain in your shattered thumb, and no amount of philosophy will change the fact that you just want the pain to stop. Some people have a genetic defect so that they feel no physical pain; but I would think they can still experience emotional pain, like grief or fear, and the same argument would apply to such people. It is unrealistic to think that a person can just "choose" to be happy with whatever circumstances he must endure.
12:30 Feeling alienated is nothing one can decide. "Why should..?" could thus only mean for what purpose. It is for the purpose of making situations important. One thinks about them more often.
Heraclitus, the stoics and Epicurus all offered individual freedom as an alternative to superstitious adherence to an imaginary absolute enforced by personified deities. Epicurus in particular suggested a morality grounded in common sense and self preservation rather than in blindly following tradition or living in fear of the Gods. I like Sartre a lot, but there wasn't anything particularly original about him. Every generation wants to try to come up with something new, and Sartre seems to have convinced many that he had. Good for him.
Didn't Camus himself say he wasn't an existentialist? I was always thought that he believed life is inherently devoid of any meaning, and trying to give it meaning would fail, and that the existentialists thought that meaning in life had to be assigned by the self, not any outside entity.
Reading thru Heidegger's " being & time" u will realize that Sartre's " being & nothingness" is almost at certain points direct plagiarism of ideas. Sartre however adds an awsome level when he talks about the social dimension with " the look" & hell is other people. The other defines us & steals my freedom so i make the other realise themselves as being defined by me. All social relationships are based in conflict. Especially love. Thia professor is cool & it would be fun to go thru being & nothingness line by line to get a really good understanding of this. He only gets to skim the surface with this lecture but its still fun tho.
The meaning of life is to stay alive. In Nietzsche there is the will to power over your native powers. Then in Aristotle first you become a specialist then you become a Liberal artist. In the Hellenistic age of Empire the later Stoics found meaning in an Ideal city, and an Ideal Man.

After reading the 'Idiot', i have reached to the previous lacture after some googling and then to here. Very useful to make head and tail of Dostoevsky and some of my personal questions regarding being and nothingness.
Brilliant Daniek Truly Talented speaker!! However the existential crisis in the room is the chair squeeking does it show that others aren't aware truly of their free will and that humans are unconscious beings squeaking in an auditorium, surely if not we they would be aware of the impact of their self awareness to be present and SIT bloody still!! Who am I really I am a squeaker!!!
He's just a simply amazing professor. Too bad when you're 20 you're too full of yourself to appreciate this kind of a lecture. I would have loved to hear the parts he skipped in detail as well. Totally brilliant!
@@LD-kz3ms i was actually talking about the students who were playing with their chairs throughout the lecture but why not jump on an opportunity to criticize someone online when you have the chance, right? too bad there's no age limit for being a douchebag. there, i fixed it for both of us. :)
Great video. If Sartre and Camus felt that the right response to a meaningless world was to create our own meaning, avoid ‘bad faith’, and do as we please, does this not run the risk of individuals engaging in immoral behaviour? There was talk of Camus’ love letters and his desire for several women for example, but of course this is not good behaviour. If we create our own meaning in life, where does morality stand, and what did Camus/Sartre say? I have tried reading Sartre and struggle to understand him. Camus I don’t think morality is mentioned in The Myth Of Sisyphus.
Do we have the ability to define our own essence, if we don't have free will? I had a dream when I was young that before I was born, I was given the choice of the person I would be born as, so that my life has meaning because I must have choosen this particular life for a reason, which counters what Heidigger is saying. I think that we feel alienated existentially when we haven't yet chosen the meaning of our life, or when we feel lonely.
Physicists have a term called "initial conditions". Given the initial conditions of an object one can calculate the motion of the object using a formula based on the external forces acting on the object. One can "predict" the object's path or trajectory. Existentialism seems to me the realization that only living beings can contemplate. The realization of being free to choose against or apart from the external forces acting upon it. Such choice is petrifying. To contemplate any sort of doing is to put one's life in mortal and moral peril. Why? Because there is no guide beside one's own judgement: there is no comfort of external corroboration of right. No comfort in the fruition of one's effort. One can never know if one's choice will ever bear fruit or lead to failure and futility. If one's choice was right. Existentialism is this confrontation with futility; and the decision on what to do next is Absurdism, Sieze the Day, will to power, becoming a robot like Sisyphus: joining the "rat race", becoming a worthless, unknown, failed, artist, and so on. The strategy of following the prodding of the external forces of gravity and wind speed and direction has a final state that is predictable and comforting. Leaving gravity and wind behind has no comfortable and predictable fate. This fear is like stepping into deep water, one may not be physically or mentally fit to survive.
Ironically, I passionately choose rationalism, behaviouristically act rationally, train for logic with litanies of examples, and, acting like a pretentious French waiter become a stoic and a contemplative, creating the essence that Aristotle would assert was given before I was born as my final end. Good lecture. Thank you.
Freedom doesn't result from the absence of God. Freedom can only be in a vacuum or in thought. Only an abstraction. We have the freedom of choice within options. Whatever we choose must be an option.
I like how so many are complaining over a squeaky chair; even though they're getting a free university lecture!
I used to carry a little can of WD40 with me to lectures for this reason lol
You like that or academia has trained you to understate all of your negative opinions so as to save face while allowing you to partake in a small release of misery?
It seems squeaky chair beats philosophy lecture, who would have known...
I'm in Denmark. All university lectures are free here.
Yeah for sure, but did you notice that squeaky chair tho??

The stages listed in The Stranger are similar to the stages of loss: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Just noticed that!
This presentation had me fascinated from start to finish. Your enthusiasm for philosophy and your sense of humor is admirable. Thank you for sharing.
Daniel Bonevac is a great teacher and a great speaker I really enjoyed this speech
I Really appreciate how the lecturer went straight to the point with the definition, right off the bat. Love it

What life means
What it’s all about
What is the point of existing
Alienation from the world as a whole
Stranger in the world
Absurdity
Lack of meaning
It has whatever meaning you give
Humans are radically free
Existence precedes essence
One of the best talks on existencialism I've heard. Short quick right to the point.
Great lecture. Annoying squeaking desk. So may times I was getting into what you said, there's this squeaking desk(chair?)! Get rid of that thing... or are all the desks that way?

You explained Camus' call to revolt against the absurd beautifully. I didn't quite understand what he meant by that before.
Honestly I think Aristotle view on existentialism is smarter. OK, we are free to define our lives and give it whatever meaning we want, but what happens when we fail (our plans fail)? Some existentialists might be frustrated and commit suicide. But most of them don't.

After reading the 'Idiot', i have reached to the previous lacture after some googling and then to here. Very useful to make head and tail of Dostoevsky and some of my personal questions regarding being and nothingness.
have you ever been to NEPAL? amazing talk!
!It was an honor to meet your Passion for who you really are
Thanks a lot for the lecture! ^^
Brilliant Daniek Truly Talented speaker!! However the existential crisis in the room is the chair squeeking does it show that others aren't aware truly of their free will and that humans are unconscious beings squeaking in an auditorium, surely if not we they would be aware of the impact of their self awareness to be present and SIT bloody still!! Who am I really I am a squeaker!!!
Thank you so much Professor...wonderful lecture...and funny (banana)
He's just a simply amazing professor. Too bad when you're 20 you're too full of yourself to appreciate this kind of a lecture. I would have loved to hear the parts he skipped in detail as well. Totally brilliant!
"when I was 20 I was too full of myself to appreciate this kind of a lecture"
Fixed that for you
@@LD-kz3ms i was actually talking about the students who were playing with their chairs throughout the lecture but why not jump on an opportunity to criticize someone online when you have the chance, right? too bad there's no age limit for being a douchebag. there, i fixed it for both of us. :)
Yes, I found irt irritating that he skips some slides. Why does he do that, I wonder?
Great video. If Sartre and Camus felt that the right response to a meaningless world was to create our own meaning, avoid ‘bad faith’, and do as we please, does this not run the risk of
individuals engaging in immoral behaviour? There was talk of Camus’ love letters and his desire for several women for example, but of course this is not good behaviour. If we create our own
meaning in life, where does morality stand, and what did Camus/Sartre say? I have tried reading Sartre and struggle to understand him. Camus I don’t think morality is mentioned in The Myth Of Sisyphus.
Do we have the ability to define our own essence, if we don't have free will? I had a dream when I was young that before I was born, I was given the choice of the person I would be born as, so that my life has meaning because I must have choosen this particular life for a reason, which counters what Heidigger is saying. I think that we feel alienated existentially when we haven't yet chosen the meaning of our life, or when we feel lonely.
The Lecturer seems to happy to be a philosopher
Indebted to you professor..amazing lectures. Thank you so much!
Sir, YOU are a great inspiration..Regards at YOUR feet
Physicists have a term called "initial conditions". Given the initial conditions of an object one can calculate the motion of the object using a formula based on the external forces acting on the object. One can "predict" the object's path or trajectory.
Existentialism seems to me the realization that only living beings can contemplate. The realization of being free to choose against or apart from the external forces acting upon it. Such choice is petrifying. To contemplate any sort of doing is to put one's life in mortal and moral peril. Why? Because there is no guide beside one's own judgement: there is no comfort of external corroboration of right. No comfort in the fruition of one's effort. One can never know if one's choice will ever bear fruit or lead to failure and futility. If one's choice was right.
Existentialism is this confrontation with futility; and the decision on what to do next is Absurdism, Sieze the Day, will to power, becoming a robot like Sisyphus: joining the "rat race", becoming a worthless, unknown, failed, artist, and so on.
The strategy of following the prodding of the external forces of gravity and wind speed and direction has a final state that is predictable and comforting. Leaving gravity and wind behind has no comfortable and predictable fate. This fear is like stepping into deep water, one may not be physically or mentally fit to survive.
Great Great job
Love your passion for this!
How can this man think reading Heidegger is torture but have read so much Sellars? How I ask you?!
:). Actually, since I gave this lecture I've read a lot of Heidegger, and I enjoyed it. Sellars was good preparation.

Ironically, I passionately choose rationalism, behaviouristically act rationally, train for logic with litanies of examples, and, acting like a pretentious French waiter become a stoic and a contemplative, creating the essence that Aristotle would assert was given before I was born as my final end. Good lecture. Thank you.
Great lecture and lecturer. Only disappointment was that there wasn't quite enough squeaking of that student's chair.
Could you talk about the book Gender in modernism by a women writer, plz it is very difficult to handle it
Can anyone suggest a good journal or book where I can research on this existentialism for my final research work?
Thanks! You're a fun teacher.
Freedom doesn't result from the absence of God. Freedom can only be in a vacuum or in thought. Only an abstraction. We have the freedom of choice within options. Whatever we choose must be an option.
no class monday was the best thing i heard
and it was a good lecture
