Presentation Transcript

  1. Naturalism • Literature that shows life is the working out of external and internal forces beyond human control • Natural disasters • Economic changes—depressions/recessions • Child abuse • Divorce • Murder • Addictions • Jealousies • Aging • Bodily ailments • Moving

  2. Existentialism • A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile, absurd, or indifferent universe • Existentialists believe there is no human nature! • No external meaning is thrust upon us by God. • Existence comes before essence • Existentialists stress freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts. • Humans can choose to change their lives. We are not victims of forces; however, there is only nature (no heaven, no hell, no reincarnation)
