Existencialism

Any existencial albums?

Unironically this

Try again with correct spelling. Could be an interesting thread.

...

this desu

most contemporary music, desu

Shit didnt even notice i fucked up
But i mean albums were existentialism is a main theme, not just that they have a couple of existential lyrics

I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I'm not sure people can take you seriously. I want to participate in a thread like this.

Deathconsciousness.

I took an entire course on existentialism an im still making that spelling mistake lmao. Im actually looking for an album to give it to my teacher as a gift

tuxedomoon

Please make another thread, I will help you.

Most contemporary music is willingly absurd and lacks objective meaning because we have lived in a postmodern world since the 60's

Sarte is a hack. Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche are bae

You have no idea what youre talking about. Worst post of 2017

Read more books and you'll know culture as a whole was deconstructed by figures like Derrida or Adorno decades ago. Make America Great Again thru self aware simulacra and ideology that knows it's Ideology

This Reddit retard who thinks sincerity exists and read one Camus paragraph so he thinks he gets existentialism

>equating existentialism with post modernism and post structuralism
>implying lots of modern music doesnt have a clear and direct meaning
What did he mean by this?

Another thread would be deleted, there would be two threads up asking for the same exact thing, only one with a spelling mistake. This is getting replies anyway, dont see the problem

Post-modernist alert. Any attempt to reason with these guys usually ends in calling everything a social construct.
Nietzsche is mein Neger

essentially Music basically

Pretty much this. I don't think Derrida is on the same league as Heidegger or Kierkegaard

>Derrida
>Adorno
What the fuck does this have to do with existentialism?

all this thread needs is a stirner meme to be the worst in the catalog

you're the worst in the catalog

“To be is to do”—Socrates.
“To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre.
“Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

calling everything a social construct isn't in itself bad; what's shitty is calling everything a social construct and ending the discussion there
it's important to remember that being a social construct doesn't make something illegitimate; actually it allows us to employ whatever concepts much more effectively

Derrida often wrote within the field of phenomenology and as any fule kno phenomenology is the precursor to many of the elements of existentialism.
Probably not in the same league, you are right. But not irrelevant.

You're a silly goose.

>shitty
Shitty is a social construct. Values are subjectively made up and thus good, bad, and shitty dont really exist

It's just that when people say everything is a social construct, they usually end the conversation there and not go any further with it, almost to the point where empiricism and rationalism are completely eschewed because those are social constructs as well. This leads to the rationalization to a lot of ass-backwards ideologies which claim to be progressive but actually are nihilist as fuck.

My point exactly

That Caretaker album where the boulder is smoking a cigarette

>derrida
>"precursor to elements of existentialism"
You are completely talking out of youe ass. Just keep digging that hole

Greentexting elements of my text to make it sound like I was saying Derrida was predating existentialism...weak dude

Nothing about Derrida was a precursor to elements of existentialism. Just because he talked about phenomenology doesnt make you randomly bringing up deconstructionism any less random or off topic. You brought up post monderism and Derrida because you wanted to name drop some of the few philosphy terms that you knew despite the fact it has nothing to do with the thread at hand. Then you desperately try to relate Derrida to existentialism by saying phenomenology is "the precursor to certain elements of existentialism", which is probably the most vauge empty jargon sentence ive ever read.

Why even respond to this pseudointellectual if he's going to rationalize himself into a hole?

I dont know, i just have to call out bs when i see it even if i know its a fruitless endeavor. Its a problem, I know

Firstly I didn't bring that up, I was just point out that to bring up Derrida in conjuncture with existentialism due to the presence of the phenomenological pursuit in his writing isn't extraordinarily left field. Secondly it is well known that Sartre who arguably created existentialism (alongside the proto-existentialism of Soren Kierkegaard) was greatly influenced by Heidegger, Husserl, and Jaspers (though I might be wrong on that one). To claim that Phenomenology was a forerunner to existentialism and that they both have shared interests such as subjective experience is generally considered an undeniable statement.

What's even going on in this thread?

I don't know (and I'm one of the people arguing the toss above) but I get the feeling that the saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" is quite relevant.

Psuedointellectual tries to flex his inadequate knowledge of philosophy. Gets called out by an autist who cant let it go.

much

Head and leg, in your dreams

I'm not sure this has any explicitly existential themes in the lyrics but it gives me the same kind of vibes of disconnection from and disgust at existence as Sartre's Nausea
