Introduction to Existentialism
Because of the diversity of positions associated with existentialism, the term is impossible to define precisely. Certain themes common to virtually all existentialist writers can, however, be identified. The term itself suggests one major theme: the stress on concrete individual existence and, consequently, on subjectivity, individual freedom, and choice.

Coming to Terms: Existence and Cyberspace
Coming to terms with the rapid integration of information technology is exciting as well as difficult. There is much to be gleamed from the increased performance and pragmatic applications of knowledge. The sky is the limit! The information superhighway offers much, but does it offer too much? Implicit in its futuristic promise is a world connected globally, a collective-consciousness accessible to all. While we, as knowledge workers, are being brought closer together, we are also being driven apart. The information superhighway fosters a culture of separateness, a type-of-solipsism. Each individual, on his or her own computer-mobile, speeding through and switching lanes at varying bandwidths, stopping at countless city-sites, with one thing in mind: one’s own interests. It is so easy to subscribe to a social community and unsubscribe. The nature of our electronic interactions seems egoistic, in a certain manner, because of the relative simplistic ability to disengage one’s self from others with relatively little or no consequence.

Notes
The Mind: A Universe Unto Itself
Robert Fludd, 17th Century English physician and inventor, theorized that the mind of man was a universe in miniature, as shown in Figure #1. Fludd's universe was composed of a trinity of God, earth and man. Man's mind was composed of a corresponding trinity; intellect, imagination and sensation, the three large circles pictured outside the head. They inside the head to form various parts of the mind.
Figure #1.

A Note from K. MARX and F. ENGELS
From On the Freedom of the Press, May 1842
Laws are as little repressive measures directed against freedom as the law of gravity is a represive measures directed against movement, because although it keeps the heavenly bodies in perpetual motion yet it can also kill me if I wish to violate it and dance in the air.
Where law is true law, i.e. where it is the existence of freedom, it is the true existence of the freedom of man. Thus t… Continue

A Note on Time
Time. What is time? Time is any one of a series of moments at which the same or nearly the same thing recurs. That which exists as part of being, has existed, or can logically be conceived of as possessing the potentiality to exist, can only do so in relation to some being’s physical existence. Although time is an abstract notion… Continue

Philosophy of Liberty
Events
FAUST'S STUDY
And Jurisprudence, Medicine,
And even, alas! Theology
All through and through with ardour keen!
Here now I stand, poor fool, and see
I'm just as wise as formerly.
Am called a Master, even Doctor too,
And now I've nearly ten years through
Pulled my students by their noses to and fro
And up and down, across, about,
And see there's nothing we can know!
That all but burns my heart right out.
True, I am more clever than all the vain creatures,
The Doctors and Masters, Writers and Preachers;
No doubts plague me, nor scruples as well.
I'm not afraid of devil or hell.
To offset that, all joy is rent from me.
I do not imagine I know aught that's right;
I do not imagine I could teach what might
Convert and improve humanity.

A Word From Heidegger
From The Myth of Sisyphus
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically gettin killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
