Answer:

Camus's existentialist theory is characterized by a feeling of isolation and disorientation of the human condition.

Main topics:

  • Absence of the meaning of life.
  • Development and subjective belief of meaning.
  • Life contradictions.
  • Philosophy of revolt.
  • Moral and ethical basis of rebellion.

According to Camus, each person can overcome the contradictions of meaning in their lives. This requires the person to assume the external absence of meaning and build it internally (self-improvement).

Other Protagonists:

Soren Kierkegaard

Friedrich Nietzche

Martin Heidegger

Jean Paul Sartre

Explanation:

Hello!

Existentialism is a philosophical movement that affirms that existence precedes essence, reality to thought and will to intelligence.

Existentialism centered its study on the analysis of the human condition, freedom, individual responsibility, emotions and the meaning of life.

Camus is particularly considered within a type of existentialist school, which is called “<em>agnostic existentialism</em>”.

W.<br> e.<br> b. du bois argued that washington perpetuated what by not opposing white supremacy?
statuscvo [17]
Oppression of blacks by whites


Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) believed in a patient process, not immediately challenging the views of white superiority.  He thought that by hard work and perseverance, over time the black community would prove itself equal to whites.


W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) criticized Washington's views, believing that it was wrong to allow any continuance of the idea of white superiority over blacks.  He promoted social action and agitation to challenge such views, because as long as whites viewed blacks as unequal, they would never allow actual equality to occur, and oppression of blacks by whites would continue in various forms.
