The video "Let us introduce Existentialism again!" is an overview of the existentialist movement in philosophy. The host explains the main ideas and concepts of existentialism, such as the focus on individual freedom and choice, the rejection of objective meaning in life, and the emphasis on personal responsibility for one's own existence. The video also explores the historical and cultural context that gave rise to existentialism, as well as some of the key thinkers associated with the movement, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger. The video is meant to serve as a brief introduction to existentialism for those who are new to the subject.

The Learning Outcome:

These 10 flipped learning videos are helpful for digesting the idea of Existentialism. We are learning from it to get an idea of flip learning but these types of courses are very useful for distance learning, in a pandemic.

First, six videos gave the basic idea and remove the dough between Nihilism and existentialism. Videos no.7,9,10 give a more clear idea about the topic. Video 8 uses a very easy method to convey the concept as someone conveys a child.

Questions:

1. In philosophical suicide a person stops to think and accept whatever is happening, Is it for his/her whole life? Sometimes it happens that people stop to think(as in philosophical suicide) for some time. Can we consider as a philosophical suicide?
2. How does human essence defer from the essence of material things?
3. Can we say the idea of existentialism is for the whole universe?
