From Theory to Practice: an Analytical Study of Sartre's FictionDuran, Richard Gilbert 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the major aspects of the theoretical structure of Sartrian existentialism and to examine the portrayal of these in Sartre's fiction. The theoretical investigation is based largely on Sartre's "L'Être et le néant" and "L'Existentialisme est u humanisme." The fictional works are "La Nausée," the trilogy "Les Chemins de la liberté," and "Le Mur." The study is prefaced by an examination of the term existentialism and a brief historical comparison of essentialist and existentialist philosophy. The aspects of Sartrian existentialism discussed are: the question of the existence of God and its importance to Sartre's philosophy; the premise of existence preceding essence; the fact of contingency on absurdity and its attendant nausea; the doctrines of freedom and responsibility; the dilemma of choice, anguish, and commitment; and the themes of authenticity, transcendence, and death.

Existencialismo en La Lucha por La VidaTorrubia, Juan Andres Amigo 07 July 1994 (has links)
El proposito principal de esta tesis es el de exponer los elernentos existencialistas que vernos en la trilogia La lucha por la vida, del escritor de la generaci6n de 1898, Pio Baroja. Esta la cornponen: La busca, Mala hierba, y Aurora roja. Partes de esta trilogia fueron escritas en 1904. Los existencialistas, nos hablan del incurable asilarniento del individuo, los absurdos rnecanisrnos de la sociedad que lo destruyen, el coraje del individuo al encarar la rnuerte pero a su vez aferrandose a la vida, la soledad, la agonia, la angustia, la incornunicabilidad de las almas, el peso y lo absurdo de la existencia. Baroja nunca se manifesto abiertamente corno un existencialista pero algunos estudiosos de la obra barojiana sefialan esta caracteristica del escritor vasco, entre ellos se destaca Gonzalez Lopez: "Su individualismo existencialista le hizo mirar con recelo las instituciones politicas existentes, comenzando por el estado, corno los partidos deseosos de reforrnarlas. 11 1 Entre muchos de los rasgos de Baroja destaca su actitud frente a la vida. Se ha dicho que Baroja ve la sociedad y la vida como una farsa, impidiendo que el hombre se exprese a su libre albedrio: "Su concepci6n de la vida es inseparable de su temperarnento. De sus paginas se desprenden incesantemente undas ideas sobre el hombre y el mundo que se inscriben a la perfecci6n en la linea del pesimismo existencial. 112 Baroja protesta abiertarnente contra lo que no permite que el hombre alcance SU maxima potencial. Baroja protesta contra todo: La iglesia, las universidades, y el gobierno. Y es aqui donde podemos ver esto rasgos existenciales.

The ontological status of Pirandello???s metacharacters: six characters in search of a Platonic authorSarrinikolaou, Irene, School of Media, Film & Theatre, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
This thesis proposes that a defining feature of Pirandello???s 1921 play ??? Six Characters in Search of an Author, is a relentless transcendentalism. It argues that the play embodies a fascination with existential and conceptual ???occult???, and my hypothesis is that by exploring Pirandello's transcendentalism we may enhance our understanding of how and why Pirandello's play points a mirror up to the invisible and suggests that we could be a reflection of that. Pirandello's drama alludes to some of the most convoluted and enduring debates in western philosophy. However, there is very little English-language material on Pirandello???s relation to philosophy or the relevance of analytical philosophy, metaphysics or epistemology to Pirandello???s playwriting. Even foreign-language studies focus on existentialism, phenomenology and other Continental traditions of philosophy. My contribution is to craft a subjective response to Six Characters in accordance with the methods of analytical philosophy, making use of paradigms and techniques that stem from aesthetics and metaphysics to elucidate a complex self-reflexive play. Chapter One presents analytical philosophy as a potential interpretative framework for the play, whereas chapters two and three explore the metacharacters specifically. This thesis does not seek to offer conclusive assertions about the peculiar ontological status of Pirandello???s metacharacters, rather, it introduces some frameworks and conceptual tools for better approaching their ontolo
