System Of Value One
1,266 wordsAgainst this we have an opposing tendency: 'Human kind cannot bear very much reality. ' I want to look at existentialism under two categories though it belongs with neither of them. It belongs properly, perhaps, in the field of religion, but it is to be met with in philosophy and psychology. Existentialism is both philosophy in a special sense and a valency.
