Existentialism and Anorexia

[Redistribute the Rep]

Ok so I'm kind of a novice to existentialism but I found this interesting:

It'll only let you view the abstract, but what do you think of this?

I disagree with it (and i disagree with existentialism in general). It is not something out of me, nor directly an independant construction of myself that make me decide what is good or not. If i decide to be communist, it is not only for the sake of being it, but for the moral necessity. All my will have to be right accordingly to my counsciousness (or supposed right to me). What I found right depend on how (and how far) society have inflenced me.

Someone with anorexia is convinced that being thin is a good achievement and clearly has been influenced by society on this regard. They have been influenced so badly by a perverted society that they are both lackin self-esteem and wish to fullfill something they view as a good achievement.

Also, I beg you to remove Voltaire and any of his quote out of your signature, as he is on the side of those you fight.

my boyfriend died of annorexia. i think that is a load of psudo-philosophical garbage. annorexia is caused by delusional body-dysmorphia.
