Existentialism; to be or not to be Asclepius Course September 13 2017
Existentialism is a
philosophy that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice.
It is the view that humans define their own meaning in life, and try
to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational
universe. It focuses on the question of human existence, and the
feeling that there is no purpose or explanation at the core of
existence. It holds that, as there is no God or any other
transcendent force, the only way to counter this nothingness (and
hence to find meaning in life) is by embracing existence.
Thus, Existentialism believes that individuals are entirely free and must take personal responsibility for themselves.
Existentialism originated with the 19th Century philosophers Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, although neither used the term in their work. In the 1940s and 1950s, French existentialists such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960), and Simone de Beauvoir (1908 - 1986) wrote scholarly and fictional works that popularized existential themes, such as dread, boredom, alienation, the absurd, freedom, commitment and nothingness

1979..reflections by Gwynoro Jones
Gwynoro Jones is the former Labour MP for Carmarthen. He began working for the Labour party in the sixties and met the significant characters of Walsh Politics from the 1960s to 1979 and beyond. In another political incarnation Gwynoro witnessed the rise and fall of The SDP-Liberal Alliance in Wales and has much to comment on Brexit, the future and the unintended consequences of the Welsh past, present and future.
This exciting course begins with the Parliament for Wales petition in 1955 and finishes with the debacle of St David's day 1979. in its ten weeks you will understand the tensions, the bitterness and the Byzantine politics of Wales both in terms of the Labour party and of Plaid. It will deal with the tensions in Plaid and the fear of nationalism within the Labour party. This will be the world of the brooding dark presence of George Thomas. It will explore the tension in Plaid between Gwynfor Evans and Saunders Lewis. It will explore the political battle symbolised by the Carmarthen by election of 1966 and of the political struggle in that seat between Gwynoro Jones and Gwynfor Evans during the early 70s. We will look at the big beasts of the time, Aneurin Bevan , Lady Megan Lloyd George, Jim Griffiths, Jim Callaghan, Saunders Lewis Elystan Morgan and the brutal and Machiavellian Ray Powell. We will look at implications, consider the what ifs ? and lay the foundation for understanding Aberfan and its effects. We will examine the 1960s the Rhondda West and Caerphilly by-elections and speculate on the future of Wales its nationality and its identity.
The Spring term will see a another course on the history and identity of Wales as it moves into the 80s .
