Our Philosophy
Existential
/ˌɛɡzɪˈstɛnʃ(ə)l/ |
"Relating to existance."
from late Latin existentialis, from existentia. See: existence.
By gathering inspiration and ideas from:
Past and present philosophers,
Artists,
Musicians,
Poets,
Historians,
Naturalists
... from everyday people,
we go beyond the ancient literature and academia and into an exciting place of creative exploration, knowledge, and shared experience.
But... Why?
Existential philosophies are most commonly guided by 19th and 20th Century European philosophers (Sartre, Frankl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty etc.). These brilliant thinkers wrote wonderful but complex literature which is usually explored in niche academic circles.
Yet exploring these ideas and philosophies can be enjoyable and important for people from all walks of life.
"All humans create there own philosophy"
While students and professionals may enjoy academic texts, not everyone wants to read journals and complicated books. This means that many inspiring philosophies are inaccessible to most of the population.
Coming together from all walks of our unique lives, Existential Offerings provides the opportunity to explore philosophies and ideas about life through open discussions, accessible resources, and inclusive adventures suitable for all!
“The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.”
― Anton Chekhov
