1630 Why Jean-Paul Sartre Thought Existence Is Absurd And The Significance Of This Idea To His View Of Human Freedom. The concepts of existence and human freedom have been presented by Jean-Paul Sartre in his book entitled Being and Nothingness, and they represent essential parts of his theory. However, Sartre also presents other related concepts, such as bad faith which as been referred to as a device that protects us from the anguish of realising that we are freer than we like to think we are. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine why Sartre thought that existence is absurd, as well as the significance of this idea to his view of human freedom. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 2b.

1916 The 'I and Thou' in Art: Martin Buber on Aesthetic Experience. Martin Buber's "I and Thou", a work often described as belonging to the tradition of Jewish existentialism, is concerned with the essential modes of human relations, including those of humans and God. When viewing a piece of God art one can become not merely an observer, but a participant in the action itself. Furthermore, one is transferred 'out of time', into an atemporal realm, in which an appreciation of the infinite may be grasped. One loses oneself, so to speak, in the vast ocean of all other things. The essence of such encounters, which involve a breaking down of barriers and an opening up of consciousness into a contemplation of the infinite, are of primary concern to Martin Buber in I and Thou and the focus of this paper. What happens in this mode of experience is a sharpening and intensification of the phenomena of quotidian existence. 7 pgs. 9 f/c. 1b.

2658 Duty, Command, the Community and Love: An Analysis of the Concept of Love In Kierkegaard. This paper will address what a work of love is in Kierkegaard, and on the problems of being capable of communicating it. It will be argued that the concept of 'building love' is the nearest or most central concept for this notion, and in turn, the importance or significance of love in relation to others will be stressed as the culmination or apex of his concept of love. I want to focus on three of the discourses, in which Kierkegaard explicitly treats linguistic considerations: "Love Builds Up," "Love's Hidden Life," and "Love Believes All Things." 10 pgs. 20 f/c. 1b.
