Existential ethics is a meta ethics, giving rules for determining better and worse in
ANY situation. Morals in existentialist
view were rules in some conform
community. In other words, in
existential
ethics moralistic (seen as morals of 1 culture) could
be totally different from ethical (metarules for all cultural paradigms).
1 metarule in evolution is: "honor all life".
The Philippines in 2004 used this 'existensialism' rule for the DECISION to withdraw troups from Iraq.
The After WWII Existentialism (1945-1960) is quite theoretical AND very practical.
It preferred personal choice, but thought it was inevitable to make COMPROMISES. (The Joker: WRONG, compromising is like the POLITICS of adding water to milk, and is corruptive.
)
Existentialism was an active
ethics. Thought needs training in talking/debate (that's NOT freedom of speech). The existential ACTION 'Faith' requires according personal deeds.
Basics of Existentialism:
· Every existentialist
is always looking for
individual
essence, because all humans are presumed to have a free will
· All actions are the result of
DECISIONmaking
. Good decisions don't exist, only better or worse (no right or wrong, or relativism)
· Decision making is individual BUT is accepting reduced freedom for lesser individuals
on behalf of the majority (collectivism)
· Importance
is scope
(Left brain thinker Alexander the 'Great' annihilated
the holistic mother culture of original Christianity.
Left Brain thinking (being 'Rational') became the religion Roman Christianity. Two atom bombs at end of WWII to finish Buddhist Japan AND its ties with Europe is 'Rational'). |
Leadership was demonstrated by Thich Quang Duc and Jan Pallach. October 5th, 1963 during the Vietnam War a young Buddhist monk sets himself
on fire performing a ritual suicide on behalf of human values. January 16 1969 the Prague student Jan Pallach ignites himself during the Soviet invasion for the same goal. It's disgusting that you have to burn yourself
for media attention. Both deserve a Nobel Prize.
