Ekzistencializmi
eshte nje teori tradicionale e shqyrtimit filozofik
[1]
i cili merr si pikenisje pervojen e njeriut si subjekt, por jo thjesht subjektin mendimtar, por veprimin, ndjenjen,
individualitetin
e gjalle te njeriut.
[2]
Ai lidhet kryesisht me disa filozofe evropiane te shekullit XIX dhe XX, te cilet, megjithe ndryshimet e thella doktrinore,
[3]
[4]
ndanin besimin ne ate fillim te te menduarit filozofik.
Ndersa vlera mbizoteruese e mendimit ekzistencialist pranohet se eshte liria, virtyti i saj kryesor eshte origjinaliteti.
[5]
Sipas pikepamjes ekzistencialiste, pikenisja e individit karakterizohet nga ajo qe eshte quajtur "qendrim ekzistencial", ose nje ndjenje disorientimi, konfuzioni ose frike perballe nje bote dukshem te pakuptimte ose absurde.
[6]
Shume ekzistencialiste kane shqyrtuar edhe filozofi tradicionale sistematike ose akademike, si ne stil ashtu edhe ne permbajtje, si teper abstrakte dhe te largeta nga pervoja konkrete njerezore.
[7]
[8]
Søren Kierkegaard
pergjithesisht konsiderohet se ka qene filozofi i pare ekzistencialist,
[9]
megjithese ai nuk e perdorte termin ekzistencializem.
[10]
Ai propozoi qe cdo individ - jo shoqeri ose fe - te jete pergjegjes vetem per t'i dhene kuptim jetes dhe ta jetoje ate me pasion dhe sinqeritet, ose "ne menyre autentike".
[11]
[12]
Ekzistencializmi u popullarizua sidomos ne vitet pas
Luftes se Dyte Boterore
, fale
Jean Paul Sartre
i cili kishte lexuar
Martin Heideggerin
ndersa ishte ne nje kamp si
rob lufte
, gje qe krahas
filozofise
dhe disiplinave te tjera perfshire teologjine, dramen, artin, letersine dhe
psikologjine
kishin ndikuar fuqishem ne pikepamjet e tij.
[13]
Termi "ekzistencializem" (frengjisht:
L'existentialisme
) u krijua nga filozofi francez
Gabriel Marcel
ne mesin e viteve 1940.
[14]
[15]
[16]
Ne fillim, kur Marcel paraqiti termin ne fjale, ne nje kolokium ne vitin 1945,
Jean-Paul Sartre
fillimisht e refuzoi ate
[17]
por me pas nderroi mendje dhe, me 29 tetor 1945, miratoi publikisht pikepamjet ekzistencialiste ne nje leksion per
Club Maintenant
ne
Paris
. Leksioni u botua me titullin
L'existentialisme est un humanisme
(
Ekzistencializmi eshte nje humanizem
), nje liber i shkurter por qe ndikoi shume ne popullarizimin e mendimit ekzistencialist.
[18]
Me vone vete Marcel e refuzoi ekzistencializmin ne favor te termit Neo-Sokratik, per nder te esese se Kierkegaardit "Per konceptin e ironise".
Disa studiues argumentojne se termi duhet te perdoret vetem per t'iu referuar levizjes kulturore ne Evrope ne vitet 1940 dhe 1950 e lidhur me veprat e filozofeve
Jean-Paul Sartre
,
Simone de Beauvoir
,
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
, dhe
Albert Camus
. Studiues te tjere e zgjerojne termin duke perfshire edhe
Soren Kierkegaardin
, gjersa te tjere e shtrijne ate deri ne kohen e
Sokratit
.
[19]
Sidoqofte, termi shpesh identifikohet me pikepamjet filozofike te Sartrit.
