After reading the assigned text from Existentialism and Humanism, select one artist included in this unit (in the textbook or online content) and use the work of that artist to support your response to these questions: How does the work of the artist you chose express the idea of individual freedom? How does this artist deal with the theme of individual anxiety in the face of absolute freedom?

Answer:

Viktor Frankl

Explanation:

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of Existentialism…For we mean that man first exists, that is, that man first of all is the being who hurls himself toward a future and who is conscious of imagining himself as being in the future…Thus, Existentialism’s first move is to make every man aware of what he is and to make the full responsibility of his existence rest on him.

Existential psychology is the area within psychology most closely linked to the field of philosophy. Curiously, this provides one of the most common complaints against existential psychology. Many historians identify the establishment of Wilhelm Wundt’s experimental laboratory in Germany in 1879 as the official date of the founding of psychology. Sigmund Freud, with his strong background in biomedical research, also sought to bring scientific methodology to the study of the mind and mental processes, including psychological disorders and psychotherapy. Shortly thereafter, Americans such as Edward Thorndike and John Watson were establishing behaviorism, and its rigorous methodology, as the most influential field in American psychology. So, as existential psychology arose in the 1940s and 1950s it was viewed as something of a throwback to an earlier time when psychology was not distinguished from philosophy

In what ways does art influence events in society. In reverse, how is art influenced by society?

Whether it's a troll cave, a man cave, or even the cave of wonders, these mysterious underground hollows are home to all sorts of interesting creatures. Take the caves in Montana's Glacier National Park, for instance. Aside from bats, wood rats, and spiders, you'd be surprised at what you might find there—like a dedicated group of teens from Bigfork High School's Cave Club.

Bigfork's Cave Club was founded in 2007 by Hans Boderman, a cave researcher and science teacher at the high school. He started the Cave Club because of his interest in local science and nature concerns. It grew into a great way to show students how they can make a difference. Students joined for the adventure of going into caves. They stayed when they realized the impact they were having on the world around—and below—them.
