Existentialism rests on phenomenology, i.e, it uses personal, subjective experience as the foundation upon which abstract knowledge is built.

The existentialists along with many other groups are helping to teach us about the limits of verbal, analytic, conceptual rationality. They are part of the current call back to raw experience as prior to any concepts or abstractions. This amounts to what I believe to be a justified critique to the whole way of thinking of the western world in the 20th century, including orthodox positivistic science and philosophy, both of which badly need re-examination.

It is possible that Existentialism will not only enrich psychology. It may be an additional push toward the establishment of another branch of psychology, the psychology of the fully evolved and authentic Self and its ways of being.

When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

Education must be seen as at least partially an effort to produce the good human being, to foster the good life and the good society.

We do what we are and we are what we do.

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings
