The structure of the human consciousness is complex, composed of multifaceted layers of cognition. It can reflect one's perception of life, its meaning or the absence of meaning (in case of having a nihilistic mindset), as well as expressing existential notions. In your perspective, what is existential consciousness?
Maybe Gendlin’s concept ‘experiencing’ can be useful for your research on existential consciousness. See the ‘Gendlin Online Library’ on Internet.
Existentialism adheres to a set of propositions that are angst, anxiety and dread/fear. Suffering these is a human condition and consciousness would be characterized by these affects in terms of existentialism more generally. The neural then cognitive propensities of the individual are qualified by the propositions held, and this extends past something such as a set of beliefs alone. Nietzsche, Sartre and Camus would likely find that consciousness is absolutely affected. Past considerations of the psychological itself is the idea of angst correlated to depression (as one form of psychological and social dysfunction) as a cultural and social event in human societies. But this is where the adaption of existentialist principles into the conscious register and its functioning is most evident. The nihilist attitude would go further and be even deeper into depression. embracing suicide as a necessity.
Thank you for your insights. Although existential consciousness reflects the multifaceted challenges and struggles of the human condition, it can also express psychological victories, such as an optimistic approach to life, emotional resilience, unshakable values and principles. The nihilistic perception of life sometimes depends on one's personal experiences, hardships, and character. It's important to be resilient enough to transform challenges into possibilities, brightening one's existential consciousness.
This is true of Sartre's approach to adopting a goal that is humanistic. But would not be possible from more pessimistic accounts/theories such as Camus or Nietzsche. Existentialism is not the only possible form of conscious adaptation.orinetation, so it would be more of a pessimistic view instead.
I agree that existentialism refers to complex questions of being, which range from pessimistic approaches even to nihilism, demonstrating the nature of life. Conscious adaptation, as a psychological compensation, reduces the ontological burden of uncertainty, transforming challenges into possibilities.
