A successful initiative of the Director of the Alliance Française and Director of the Department of Humanities, UPN, Gerardo Cailloma, promoted April 29 of this a conversation about Albert Camus, before a public alert and proactive. The lines that follow serve a valuable overview of the approaches that were made that night in memory of Camus. Professors of the Humanities Department of UPN and who subscribes to the text, representing the UPAO, we address the dynamics of your thinking.
"Existentialism precedes essence? Framing
Existentialism Camus in the sacrifices his legacy with seductive zeal, but not so faithful to the nuances of his work. I believe that if connote just about existentialism as a quietism of despair, or to emphasize the human shame is an offense against the infinite good that underlies his work.
Sartre notes that there are at least one being in whom existence precedes essence, a being which exists before it can be defined by any concept, and that this being is man or as Heidegger says, human reality.
If existence precedes essence, means that the man begins to exist, is, arises in the world, and then define. Therefore there is no human nature because there is no God to conceive it. The man is not nothing but what he does. The first step Existentialism is to make every man in possession of what is, and lay on him the responsibility of his existence.
In this vein continues Sartre: Man is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he has not created himself, and yet, on the other hand, free, because once thrown into the world is responsible for everything he does.
Sartre's defense of existentialism is a humanism is essential. Understood that the anxiety does not lead to inaction.
Man before his concepts, breathes, lives, feeds and then metaphysics, excessive expression would end up signing my food first, then the moral, and vice versa, first I inquire how much of metaphysics hay en la lógica y después atiendo a mis hijas.
Con esa lógica se pierde la escena de categorizar (Ese delincuente toca bien el violín, o hasta los hombres sin evangelio tienen su monte de los olivos) y se desconocen que hay vidas más hondas que las nuestras. (El profesor con su tiza jamás va a ser reemplazado por el internet, ni los banqueros hacen mejor la vida que los Filósofos)
EL CAMUS QUE YO LEI
Después de “El extranjero” (Privado de ilusiones y de luces, el hombre se siente extranjero. Es un destierro sin remedio, pues esta privado de los de los recuerdos de una patria perdida o de la esperanza de una tierra prometida) Meursault no oprime, alecciona. Para entenderlo en su real magnitud have to contextualize it, and his companions, while not leaving the book, are cannon fodder for revolution as happened with the seven mad and the flamethrower (Robert Arlt).
"Caligula" guide instructs his life when wanting to get the moon above all things, at the same time that places the protagonists to live in logical consistency. Caligula is a liberator, not a tyrant. And Helicon is a man too smart to think.
"The Myth of Sisyphus" class is material to prove the utility of philosophy. Is the class where my students to become executioners. Taken at face value that the chair is the place of dislocations. They call the value of the test. While shaking with excitement about the teaching challenge invades me the story: Run
lightened the rumor, it was the wisest and most prudent of mortals, however, according to another tradition, tended to the office of the bandit. He also criticized some levity to all the gods they reveal their secrets. Is attributed also had chained to death and also at death's door imprudently wished to test the love of his wife.
Nothing justifies the punishment and put the effort of a body straining to raise the huge stone, push it and push it up a slope a hundred times restarted, the cheek tight against the stone, aid a shoulder which receives the clay-covered mass, the foot wedging it, the arms, the wholly human security of two earth-clotted hands. At the end of this long effort measured by skyless space and time without depth, reach the goal. Sisyphus
includes time as the stone wheel in a few moments toward that lower world to be re-upload the summits. And back to the plain. His fate belongs to him. The rock is home. The struggle to reach the heights is enough to fill the human heart. Sisyphus is happy. And I also

The Myth of Sisyphus was a text that I read ten years ago, thanks to the generosity of my soul bro Hilmer Luna Victoria. A Hilmer took him ten years, not just years but, nevertheless, that episode did not prevent recognition in the lad that income in the first place, and exit in the first place in the Faculty of Law of the UNT. Sometimes I am overcome by the poetry and even has a blog, I hope poetic underground antics. Hilmer tell you that a good verse is your university career, and every time you come to Trujillo for the birthday of your old. Just because you write rhyming poet. Gratitude, and know where we come input also is poetic but do not let it look much, lest you know who, again kidnap of reason and common beat your friends.
