1 Existentialism 2 : self- consciousness Conscious awareness always has intentionality The phenomenological approach ‘brackets off’ any independent existence of mental objects

2 Subject-object dichotomy is wrong Self-consciousness is one (and science two) steps from reality ‘Dasein’: the fundamental position of the individual

3 How to live Be ‘authentic’ Existential ‘angst’ (anxiety) ‘Nihilism’ - there is no authority: values and so on must be created by individuals for themselves

4 ‘Radical freedom’ Being and nothingness Nothingness as the ‘subject’ of conscious thought At root, self-conscious beings are radically free

5 ‘Hell is other people’ The battle stemming from individuals exercising their will The requirement for authenticity; the ‘sin’ of bad faith Will to being leads to the will to freedom of all (ethics is possible)

6 The will to power ‘God is dead’ The will strives for power – ultimately this is self-mastery Superman and slave moralities
