the Realm of Existentialism, Phenomenology and Existential Psychology
The Realm of Existentialism, located at DividingLine.com, features an indepth look at the attributes of the existentialist school of thought and Existentialism as an ultra-modern philosophical movement. This site offers the basics of existentialism, pros and cons of existentialism, phenomenology and its relation to existentialism, existentialism through selected quotations, and probes over twenty minds of existentialism from literature, philosophy, psychology and poetry. The Realm of Existentialism also maintains a state of the art, full-featured, Forum/Message-board called Magnetar. Magnetar has been turned into a Think Tank for discussion of the philosophy of Existentialism, enlightenment and entertainment at MindPleasures.com. Magnetar now includes a Haiku section -- which blends very well with the philosophy of Existentialism. --Katharena Eiermann
The message of existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be. It is that every one of us, as an individual, is responsible—responsible for what we do, responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible, ultimately, for the way the world is.
It is, in a very short phrase, the philosophy of 'no excuses!' We cannot shift that burden onto God, or nature, or the ways of the world. --Professor Robert Solomon

This resource provides an overview of existentialism and phenomenology, and includes information on an extensive range of existentialist writers, poets, psychologists, and philosophers.

(Definitions and explanations are illustrated throughout by quotations taken from primary existentialist sources.) The site also features an inventory of canonical figures in the history of existentialism, a selection of quotations from each of these, and a bibliography of recommended further reading. The site is well presented and very easy to use. --Daniel Came, University of Oxford Faculty of Philosophy
