Existentialism in the Blogosphere

The Genesis of the IIT Alumni Center Blog

Jean-Paul Sartre in his essay Existentialism & Humanism harped on the now infamous thought: “existence precedes essence.” In the essay, Sartre explained that there is no 'essential' human nature, and that your nature or personality is what you choose it to be.

We are at least seventy years into the future since Sartre orated and wrote about existentialism. But, the thought is very much alive, although unseen.

If you’re wondering what existentialism has in connection to the blogosphere, here it is: much like human nature, even the nature of a blog is what we choose it to be. One may begin a food blog, and halfway through switch over to home keeping or even child care.

The IITAC Blog – this blog – is another informative venue of communication for the IIT Alumni Center, which serves as an ideal destination for active interaction between the IIT alumni, faculty, industry, researchers and entrepreneurs. The Center also makes for a perfect venue to host a range of events from batch get-togethers to private parties, business conferences, etc.

The blog will serve as a confluence of all club activities, attractions and more, be it educational or entertaining.
