Starter #5
Watch this short video that perhaps offers a better way to understand "The Absurd"
"The Pale Blue Dot" narrated by Astronomer and astrophysicist, Carl Sagan

Then, for the next 10 minutes, journal on the following:
  • How does this video help explain the concept of the Absurd?
  • What is your impression of "The Absurd"?  What is your impression of Camus's recommendation for responding to the absurd? 
  • What is your impression of Existentialism more generally? Do you agree with some aspects of the philosophy? Do you reject some aspects of the philosophy? Which ones? Why? 

Agenda
1. Discuss the starter and a few key points:
  • What is the difference between existentialism and the Absurd?
  • Again, you don't have to love this philosophy-- perhaps you take bits and pieces-- that's how we form our own philosophies on life, bits and pieces of others as it helps us become less single-minded, less dogmatic, in our own beliefs.
  • Any questions about key tenets of Existentialism?

2. Group seminar prep (SHARE A COPY OF YOUR NOTES WITH ASHLEY!)

3.  Begin Individual seminar prep​
  • Remember to TYPE your individual seminar prep and email it to me by 8:24 am AND print it for seminar.
