| Title: | Realm of existentialism |
|---|---|
| Description: | This resource provides an overview of existentialism and phenomenology, and includes information on an extensive range of existentialist writers, poets, psychologists, and philosophers. The site is primarily aimed at those hitherto unacquainted with the basics of existentialism and phenomenology, and perhaps as a consequence of its target audience, it is burdened by an excessive use of flashy advertisements for unrelated objects or activities which detract from its informational purpose. That purpose is to offer a helpful summary and definitions of the two schools of thought, as well as elementary accounts of some of their essential themes. (Definitions and explanations are illustrated throughout by quotations taken from primary existentialist sources.) The site also features an inventory of canonical figures in the history of existentialism, a selection of quotations from each of these, reviews of books on existentialism, and a forum for discussion. There are in addition links to considerably less philosophical pages concerning love poetry, haiku, dolphins and the works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Advertisements aside, the site is clearly presented and very easy to use. It may be of use to the absolute beginner in existentialism and phenomenology wishing to learn more about the fundamental figures and ideas behind the movements. Or hoping to win a free laptop or download a dolphin screensaver. |
