Transcendental and Existential: Do Republicans know what they mean?
2008-01-18 22:07:00 Stop using my word! -Soren Kierkegaard I've heard these words thrown around by Republican candidates for president. To quote Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word -- I do not think it means what you think it means." Let's see: Transcendental: 1. transcendent, surpassing, or superior. 2. being beyond ordinary or common experience, thought, or belief; supernatural. 3. abstract or metaphysical. 4. idealistic, lofty, or extravagant. Yes, that works. They mean that the threat from extreme Islam is of greater importance than, say, universal preschool. Existential: 1. Of, relating to, or dealing with existence. Based on experience; empirical. 2. Of or as conceived by existentialism or existentialists: an existential moment of choice. Huh? No way. I think they're confusing "existential" with "transcendenal." So, whoever (looking at you, Romney) is using "existential" when they mean "very important," stop!

Existential Migration
2007-12-27 15:30:00 A GoodTherapy.org Featured Column written by Greg Madison, Ph.D. Click here to contact Greg and/or see his GoodTherapy.org Profile Leaving home can be a traumatic and exciting experience, especially if we are leaving to live in a foreign country. Research into the experiences of voluntary migrants has unexpectedly revealed that some of these people are actually using migration to express a deeply felt existential need. These ‘existential migrants’ discover more about themselves and feel more alive when confronting unfamiliar cultures. But by repeatedly exposing themselves to a vast range of different people and foreign places they can consequently end up living with a feeling of not being at home anywhere. (more…)

Philosophical Theories: Existential or Postmodern?
2007-11-04 20:15:00 Existentialism argues against the idea that the only reality we can be certain of is our own consciousness. Existentialism asserts that as conscious beings humans will always find themselves in a world with a prior context and history. This is received by the consciousness: humans cannot think away that world, it is inextricably linked to consciousness. Only ...
Helpful relationship advice from a dead, cynical existentialist philosopher
2007-10-27 06:39:00 Dear Schopenhauer's Ghost,I'm having a problem with my social life. Every time I find a boy I like, I get bored. Then I have to be mean to make him go away. The problem is, when he does go away, I get sad and lonely. The cycle repeats itself over and over again. What should I do? NoelDear Noel,Your problem is not unusual. Life is a pendulum that swings between frustration and boredom. You must realize that life is very bad and was accidentally created by an omniscient demon intent upon tormenting us. Try listening to Wagner. It will help you forget you are alive.Sincerely,Schopenhauer's- GhostDear Schopenhauer's Ghost,You're an existential do-do head. I don't care if there is any truth to any thing you ever wrote or said. It makes me sad and therefore can't be true. I prefer Ayn Rand any time of day! So there, you scumbag!RachelDear Rachel,I do not listen to critics. Anyone who differs from my point of view is dumb. Even now, while I serve Satan in hell's dark catacombs, I am...
Existential-humanist movement
2007-09-17 14:49:00 Humanistic psychology was developed in the 1950s in reaction to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis, arising largely from existential philosophy and writers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Søren Kierkegaard. By using phenomenology, intersubjectivity and first-person categories, the humanistic approach seeks to get a glimpse of the whole person and not just the fragmented parts of the personality or cognitive functioning. Humanism focuses on uniquely human issues and fundamental issues of life, such as self-identity, death, aloneness, freedom, and meaning. Some of the founding theorists behind this school of thought were Abraham Maslow who formulated a hierarchy of human needs, Carl Rogers who created and developed Client-centered therapy, and Fritz Perls who helped create and develop Gestalt therapy. It has become so influential as to be called the "third force" within psychology (preceded by behaviorism and psychoanalysis). And it will also play with your mind.

Click here to contact Nancy and/or see her GoodTherapy.org Profile There are several reasons why existential, religious and spiritual problems are important in psychotherapy. First it is important that therapists recognize that existential, religious and spiritual beliefs are at the foundation of individual, cultural, and societal frameworks of expression of internal and external experience. Whether the therapist or client recognizes it as an intregal part of life or not, conscious and unconscious beliefs about the nature of human existence and its meaning lie at the core of our relationships, values, ethics, morals, and how we act and interact in public and private life.

Complexities of an Existential Love
2007-04-11 05:21:00 In addition to millions of words, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir bestowed upon intellectuals around the world a love story for the ages. They met as ardent young philosophy students in Paris and immediately declared each other soul mates. They pledged undying troth, existentialist-style, which meant that, as self-created and totally free human agents, they would throw off bourgeois bad faith and hypocrisy. Marriage was out. Children too. They would live and love with total transparency, sharing every secret, renouncing jealousy, exposing themselves to judgment and, in conversational marathons, analyzing every last sensation. Read more here. . .While going through the above review of excellent (and very timely) book TÊTE-À-TÊTE, what hit the mind of a reader is this: Why this is no more possible to live and love with total transparency, sharing every secret, renouncing jealousy, exposing themselves to judgment and, in conversational marathons, analyzing every last sensatio...

Existential Sex Experiential
2006-12-01 15:28:13 The question of experience always surfaces, usually in the career sector, and once it surfaces it acts to enable another to go into evaluation mode. It?s safe to say that many assumptions are made based on levels of experience. There are no diehard rules concerning sexual experience or history, it?s more a case of the individual pressuring oneself (perhaps more so in the past) to reflect some type of ideal prerequisite: a certain number of partners to reflect an ideal level of sophistication, a high level of partners to equate oneself with sexual freedom or openness and so on.How valid are these ideas? Such ideas have threaded their way through modern everyday literature. The norm of being up to date and/or continuously active, in a sexual sense, is threaded through many periodicals. Male or female, it doesn?t matter, the norm is there. Along with such norms are more ideas or assumptions. For example, a person with (what is considered by one sector) a higher proportion of partners i...
