For other uses, see Lightness (disambiguation).Lightness is a philosophical concept most closely associated with continental philosophy and existentialism, which is used in ontology. The term "lightness" varies in usage but is differentiated from physical weight, such as "the lightness of balsa wood". In other words, "light like a bird," as Paul Valéry wrote, "and not like a feather". Lightness is also considered as a noun. Milan Kundera Milan Kundera's 1984 novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being is an exploration of the concept of Lightness.Kundera uses Friedrich Nietzsche's doctrine of the Eternal Return to illustrate Lightness. Eternal Return dictates that all things in existence recur over and over again for all eternity. This is to say that human history is a preset circle without progress, the same events arising perpetually and doomed never to alter or to improve. Existence is thus weighty because it stands fixed in an infinite c...

Be in itself

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.do_apps.catalog_739 Being-in-itself is the self-contained and fully realized Being of objects. It is a term used in early 20th century continental philosophy, especially in the works of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and the existentialists. Being-in-itself for Heidegger Main article: Heideggerian terminologyIn the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, Being-in-itself is contrasted with the being of persons, which he terms Dasein. (Heidegger 1962, p. H.27) "Dasein means: care of the Being of beings as such that is ecstatically disclosed in care, not only of human Being...Dasein is itself by virtue of its essential relation to Being in general." (Heidegger 2000, p. H.31) Fortunately, Heidegger recognized the dangers inherent to talking about Being in general and particular beings, and thus devoted space in Being and Time and the Introduction to Metaphysics to an explication of the differences; often noted by...

Absurdism

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.do_apps.catalog_739 This article is about the philosophy. For an extremely unreasonable, silly, or foolish thing, see Absurdity. For absurdist humour, see surreal humour. For the literary genre, see Absurdist fiction.Sisyphus—the symbol of the absurdity of existence—by Franz Stuck.In philosophy, "the Absurd" refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the human inability to find any. In this context absurd does not mean "logically impossible", but rather "humanly impossible". The universe and the human mind do not each separately cause the Absurd, but rather, the Absurd arises by the contradictory nature of the two existing simultaneously.Accordingly, absurdism is a philosophical school of thought stating that the efforts of humanity to find inherent meaning will ultimately fail (and hence are absurd) because the sheer amount of information as well as th...

Angelic songs

Hark, hark ! my soul ! angelic songs are swelling O'er earth's green fields and ocean s wave-beat shore ; How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Angels, sing on ! your faithful watches keeping ; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above ; Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. 2. Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, [and sea The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. 3. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, [bids you come " ; " Come, weary souls ! for Jesus And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home.

Watch with christ

Watch, earnestly watch, the Lord's approach is nearing ; Pray, fervently pray, no man can know the hour ; Like as a thief at night is His appearing ; He cometh to judge the world in truth and power. Watch ye, pray ye, soldiers of the Lord ; Work ye, wait ye, trusting in His word ; Keep His commandments ? and His law obey, And He will reward you in the last great day. 2. Work, joyfully work, all ye who know His chastening; Wait, patiently wait, for your reward is nigh; Lift up your heads, the day of rest is hastening ; Rest, glorious rest, with Jesus by and by. 3. Trust, loyally trust, and as to Him thou'rt clinging, Keep, faithfully keep the Saviour's blest commands ; Then in thy heart the blest assurance ringing, Know surely thy name is written in His hands.
