precision, but sought them more in the rigorous description of our immediate experience (the phenomena) than in the logical analysis of concepts or language. Continental Philosophy In "Being and Time" Heidegger turned phenomenology toward "existential" questions about freedom, anguish and death. Later, French thinkers influenced by Husserl and Heidegger, especially Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, developed their own versions of phenomenologically based existentialism. Continental Philosophy The term "continental philosophy" was the invention of analytic philosophers of the mid-20th century who wanted to distinguish themselves from the phenomenologists and existentialists of continental Europe. Over the last 50 years, the term has been extended to many other European movements, such as Hegelian idealism, Marxism, hermeneutics and, especially, post-structuralism and deconstruction.

English Literature of the 1930s-1950s. Aggravating political and economic situation in the 1930s-1940s. A turn in the mood, aesthetic programme, moral convictions and public taste. The Golden Age of crime fiction. The literature of `fair play'. Graham Greene. Realism and Existentialism. English Literature of the 1930s-1950s. Reception theory. Only the process of reading generates a meaning for a text. Reading connects reader and the text. A good degree of inderterminacy and gaps to make the connection possible. Gaps-places in a text- require reader's imagination, thinking ability. Allusions, symbols, metaphors, digression, rhetorical question, open endings. Balance is the key. Too many gaps in Modernist texts. Fiction as a way of finding order in chaotic world.

Nature is often shown as hostile and men behave like beasts on their basic instincts, mortality is part of exsistance. In war men a re stripped of their humanity. Symbolically their stripped naked before death. Not only naked in the sense of clothes but also in the sense of moraility. Things started to change in the 40s. Another lost generation starte to appeare. Existentialism had to do with it life has less meaning and it consits of choices, it's up to us do make the right ones and if we choose the right ones are lives may be authentic. Everyone is alienated, there's no real communication. Zen Buddhism, self identification with the spontanuous movements of nature. J.D Salinger, 1919-2010 Born in NYC. He went to military school, he was a naughty boy. That's were he started writing. He did not finish his degree
theory of conventions. Chapter 8 1 The foregoing examples are skeptical hypotheses of a kind that every philosophical tradition has taken seriously; the positivists had to work hard to argue that those "hypotheses" are meaningless even though the sentences look perfectly meaningful at first glance. The positivists had less patience and less trouble with the Hegelian idealism of the late nineteenth century, as in "The Absolute is perfect," and with Heideggerian existentialism, as in "The Nothing noths" ("Das Nichts nichtet"). I once received a brochure, advertising a newly published philosophy book. The brochure contained a bulleted list of the book's special features. And one of the bulleted items was: "Eleven new ways in which negation negates itself." I swear I am not making this up. 2 Of course, there are degrees of understanding. We may not understand a term completely. (Do you know exactly what a camshaft is? How about a linear accelerator
