Existentialism
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I saw that you wrote somewhere that in your view existentialism is not really philosophy but rather psychology. I’d be glad to hear an explanation why.
Thank you.
Answer
Because it does not deal with claims about the world, but with experiences and feelings and what that means to me.
Discussion on Answer
No.
Do you have an article here on the site that expands more on explaining the parallel between philosophy and psychology, and the differences between them?
