What Is Point-of-Presence?

Existence is reality that is not transferred by human will, including material existence and conscious existence, including the existence of entities, attributes, and relationships. Human will itself is a kind of existence, and the thinking and imaginary things of man are also a kind of existence, which belongs to the existence of consciousness. The virtual world is also a kind of existence. It is the externalization (not materialization) of the human conscious world, and it is still essentially the existence of consciousness. The carrier of the virtual world (the hardware device of the Internet) is the existence of matter.

(Philosophical concept)

Existence is reality that is not transferred by human will, including material existence and conscious existence, including the existence of entities, attributes, and relationships. Human will itself is a kind of existence, and the thinking and imaginary things of man are also a kind of existence, which belongs to the existence of consciousness. The virtual world is also a kind of existence. It is the externalization (not materialization) of the human conscious world, and it is still essentially the existence of consciousness.

1. Existence (reality) is a philosophical concept, following the 20th century Western

Being before nature

"Being before essence" was put forward by Sartre, representing the metaphysics of existentialism. This metaphysics is fundamentally different from western metaphysics. Traditional metaphysics generally gives universal, abstract, and formal characteristics to "essence", and it is generally believed that in time, essence precedes existence.

Existentialism believes that essence before existence is not an absolute and universal rule, it applies only to things, not to people. Man's existence precedes his essence, which means that he must exist before he can create himself. But existence does not create him; he creates himself in the process of being. Sartre said, "Speaking of existence before essence, what does this mean? He means: first of all people exist, appear, appear, and then define themselves. According to the existentialists, if people cannot The definition is that in the beginning he was nothing, but later he was some kind of person, and it was he who made himself the person he wanted to make ... man is not only he who wants to make himself To cause such a person, and also after he rushed into existence, determined to make himself such a person. Man, except for what he created himself, is nothing. "It can be seen that the essence of man is man himself through himself Created by choice, not given. Sartre's words also help us understand the meaning of "existence" of existentialism. The basic concept of existential "existence":

1. It refers to the existence of people, not the existence of things. "Things" can only be "existent", not "existent."

2. It does not refer to the existence of ordinary people and human beings, but to the existence of specific, individual people.

3 It does not refer to the specific existence of a specific tangible person, but refers to the relationship between a lonely individual and himself, his sense of self.

4 It does not refer to an individual's rational knowledge of himself, but to the irrational emotional experience of a lonely individual.

Being is accidental

Existentialism holds that all beings, including human beings, are accidental, and they happen by accident. This is not to say that the material universe is chaotic, without laws and rules, or that the laws discovered by the Institute of Material World are completely unreal and unreliable. It just means that there is nothing predetermined for the human or material universe.

The so-called accidental means that there is no reason for the existence of the material world, nor is it deduced in advance based on some absolute idea, thought, or spirit.

Since all existence is not deterministic, but accidental, existence is uncertain. It can be inferred from this that fundamentally, existence is absurd.

Therefore, we have no reason to decide in advance what things should be like this, but not like that, and we have no reason to decide in advance that people should be like this, and should not be like that. Regarding the solution to the problem of absurdity, the approach proposed by the theistic existentialists is religious belief; while the atheistic existentialists believe that they should act to compete for the meaning of life and create their own value.
