Selective AttentionAssociative vs. Cognitive Awareness
Our conscious awareness processes only a small part of all that we experience. We
intuitively make use of the information we are not consciously aware of.
Inattentional blindness refers to the inability to see an object or a person in our midst.

Existentialism deals with intense Theological (Religious Study) and
Ontological (Study of Being), as well as Epistemological (Study of
Knowledge) issues.
ANDREW WYETH
Christina’s World (1948)
A complex philosophy emphasizing the absurdity of
reality and the human responsibility to make choices
and accept consequences!
Despite encompassing a huge range of philosophical, religious, and political ideologies, the underlying concepts of existentialism are simple…
Existence Precedes EssenceExistentialism is the title of the set of philosophical ideals
that emphasize the existence of the human being, the lack
of meaning and purpose in life, and the solitude of human
existence… “Existence precedes essence” implies that
the human being has no essence (no essential self).

A)Existence precedes essence (hence the name
“existentialism”): there are no or pre-existing conditions
that guide or determine man’s behavior or essence.
B)Leads to the “absurd condition” man seeks meaning
in a meaningless world (universe unconscious of our
existence).
C)Man is condemned to be free. Leads to modern
despair from man’s overwhelming sense of
responsibility and recognition of his fundamental
aloneness in an indifferent universe.
D)The artist/existentialist achieves meaningful
happiness by facing the pain and still affirming life.
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
“It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. Could it be, on the contrary, that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning?”
