Hello,
This Blog is assigned by "Dilip Barad Sir", this about the what is existentialism.
First here, we understand What is Flipped-Learing ?
Flipped Learning is a teaching method where traditional instruction happens individually, outside the classroom, while class time is used for active, interactive learning. Instead of lectures during class, students explore concepts beforehand, allowing the teacher to facilitate discussions, activities, and creative engagement during lessons. This approach encourages deeper understanding and hands-on application of knowledge. (Flipped Learning Network (FLN)).

Thoughts which I like:-
Vedio - 1
Here, the image is first video and the thought is here, Freedom, passion and individuality is relates with existentialism. Triology of life is wr can find in the picture.
Vedio - 2
- The second image defines absurdity as “the search for answers in an answerless world.”
- This means that humans want life to have meaning, purpose, or fairness, but the universe does not provide clear answers.
- People ask: Why do bad things happen? What is the purpose of life? But there is no definite answer—this is the "absurd condition" Camus describes.
Example from The Outsider
- Meursault’s reaction to his mother’s death seems strange to others because he doesn’t cry or act emotional.
- Society expects people to show grief in a certain way, but Meursault doesn’t follow these rules.
- This shows how the world demands meaning and emotion, while Meursault simply accepts life as it is, making him an “outsider.”
- The first image talks about how the horrors of the Holocaust made people lose faith in an ordered world.
- Many believed that if there was a just God or a moral system, such cruelty wouldn’t exist.
- Because of this, people turned to existentialism, which says life has no built-in meaning—we must create our own.
Example from The Outsider
- Meursault doesn’t believe in God or fate.
- When he is about to be executed, he refuses to turn to religion for comfort, unlike most people.
- Instead of hoping for an afterlife, he accepts his death calmly, embracing life’s absurdity.
- Camus doesn’t say life is hopeless—instead, he believes we should face the absurd and live fully anyway.
- In The Myth of Sisyphus, he uses the story of Sisyphus, a man forced to roll a rock up a hill forever.
- Even though his task is meaningless, Camus imagines him happy, because he accepts his fate.
Example from The Outsider
- At the end of the novel, Meursault stops caring about what society thinks of him.
- He finds happiness in the beauty of the sun, the sky, and the present moment.
- Instead of wishing for a different life, he embraces his fate, just like Sisyphus.
