EXISTENTIALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION IN EDUCATION

Journal Title: Nature & Science - Year 2024, Vol 18, Issue 7

Abstract

Abstract Existentialism is a philosophical movement that explores themes of human freedom, individual responsibility, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent or meaningless universe. In existentialist literature, characters often grapple with existential angst, questioning the meaning of life and confronting the absurdity of existence. Jean-Paul Sartre's “Nausea” and Albert Camus's “The Stranger” are seminal works of existentialist literature, depicting characters who struggle with inner turmoil and the need for authenticity. Fyodor Dostoevsky's “Crime and Punishment” and Franz Kafka's “The Metamorphosis” are precursors to existentialist themes, focusing on alienation, guilt, and the search for redemption. Existentialist thought also influences education, where it emphasizes individuality, personal growth, and the importance of self-discovery in learning. In existentialist education, teachers play a guiding role, encouraging critical thinking and allowing students to shape their own educational journey based on personal interests and experiences. Society, leading them to question conventional beliefs and societal norms. Samuel Beckett's play “Waiting for Godot” highlights the absurdity of human endeavours, portraying existentialist themes of uncertainty and futility as the characters wait for someone who never arrives. Existentialist education helps students develop unique qualities, make better choices, develop values and lead authentic lives. Existentialism continues to inspire thinkers, writers, and educators by exploring the human condition, challenging traditional narratives, and encouraging a deeper understanding of individual freedom and responsibility.
