ИСТИНА

My fundamental point focuses on the idea that modern continental philosophy is based on pessimism. I am singling out the pessimistic tendency in the philosophizing of the 19th century, which had a direct impact on modern continental philosophy. The pessimistic way of philosophizing was typical for such areas as the philosophy of life and existentialism. These trends stated the collapse of classical philosophy. Instead of the main foundation of classical philosophy - rationalism - they postulated irrationalism. New philosophy was closely related to intuition, revelation, and faith. The new line of thought was characterized by reasoning about fear and horror, the joylessness and the meaninglessness of existence.
