[MaFLa] Existential Emotions Workshop 31/05-01/06 @ CEU and ELTE

[Zsofia Jeney-Domingues]

The CEU Department of Philosophy and the ELTE Institute of Philosophy cordially invites you to their jointly organized
Existential Emotions Workshop
on the 31st of May  and 1st of June


Existentialism came of age about 100 years ago with the work of the philosophers Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, Camus and others as well as with various figures in literature and the arts. It highlighted the nature and challenge of human existence seen first-personally against a backdrop of uncertain values and goals. Whether the existentialism avant la lettre of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche or later on, one thing that differentiates it from other philosophy is its attention to the emotions. Philosophy has always known that human beings have emotions, but it is really only with existentialism that emotions are seen as a response to the very fact of existing as such. The emotions in question often, though not always, border on a kind of alienation or deep not-at-home-ness. There are different accounts among existentialists of the nature of this and other existence-respondent feelings, what exactly that generates them and whether they yield to something else and what. This is as much a problem today as 100 years ago. So, while existentialism is a chapter in the history of philosophy, its problems and concerns deserve to be revisited in the light of present circumstances. Hence, the idea for this conference.
