Video 1- Many a great thinker and writers such as- Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Heideggar and many more differ in their views but for all of them philosophical thinking and existentialism begin with the subject namely the individual. It could be seen as a triangle with- Individuality, freedom and passion as its three sides. Believing or not believing in God can only be possible when one thinks as an individual.
Video 2- Our
thinking is the base of every situation from where Absurdity started in life.
It talks on lack of profound or prolific reason of living & it turns to an
individual act may be Suicide. Reference from movie Stay also has such same
ideas (An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art.)
Video 3- Absurdity is not in man or in the world but it's in both. If there is no human being
then there would be no desire and then there would be no satisfaction & ultimately
then there would be no philosophical suicide. Before facing problems one should
know possible challenge as well as solution instead of facing it without a
second thought. Religion believes that there is some reason beyond all but in
actual sense there are no such reasons.

Existentialism is a not Nihilism. Dadaism is associated to
Nihilism. Dadaism is a quest a change and values. In nihilism there is no
meaning or purpose to life. One should create their values rather than
following other’s values.

Existentialism
is a philosophy which itself is dark or depressed. As we want some pillar to
stand stable that’s why people chooses god as the pillar or finding a truth
that is truth for us or embracing the absurd we feel relief by choosing any
pillar. But what existentialism says here is that you have to be creator or
developer or destroyer of your life. You have to live stable without any
supporting pillars from outside. The only supporting pillar you can use it is
you and yourself because everything which we seek outside comes from our inner
self.

Existentialism is opposed to Nihilism because Nietzsche believes that
Nihilism comes after existentialist thinking. As per my understanding Nihilism shows
us that everything is meaningless in the world and we are tempted by an
objective scheme of things. And on the other hand existentialist thinker
believes that there is no single meaning but we create our personal meaning for
life. So in that point Nietzsche disagree with Nihilism because it ties our
thinking ability and existentialism gives us more to look insight and judge
critically.

Existentialism shared a common concern that we can say it as human condition.
Throughout our life we are in dilemma between life and purpose of life. We all
are roaming throughout the life in search of the series of questions but we
never meet with an appropriate answer.

Nietzsche’s gives us an idea of ‘ubermensch’ i.e superman because he
believed that there is no God present anywhere. Or ‘God is dead’. So, we are
free from the idea of God and we are free to establish our new values. And then
the creator will be responsible for whatever he selects for his life so there
is no chance to escape from suffering that comes from the values that he
chooses for himself.

I like existentialism because it gives way to life as it gives space to
the intellectual thinking and the existentialist thinkers are much more
straight forward than others. Existentialism accepts one as he or she is.
My favourite video is- Video 2
I liked this video because a person
commits suicide when he or she starts thinking and then gets undermined by his
own thoughts and when he or she takes a pause while thinking than they discover
the absurdity starts dying because they have recognised even instinctively the
ridiculous character of that habit.
Flipped learning is a very helpful
process to understand. It is so because while doing flipped learning we don’t
have to sit in one place and give our ears to the teachers, it is a
self-learning easy process. It makes our concept more clear.
