Background

The Existentialist-Structuralist tradition is a purported group of philosophical frameworks claimed to exist by meta-Marxism. These philosophies all appear to be connected to each other by a particular set of shared themes, which is much more narrow than might otherwise be expected if they were in fact not related. These themes include "the subject" (existentialism), where language comes from and what effect it has (structuralist linguistics, poststructuralist frameworks), obsession with freedom and the capacity to do otherwise (existentialism, schizoanalysis, Foucauldianism), "your time" (Lacanian psychoanalysis, cybernetics), and reducing societal processes down to individual psychology (psychoanalysis, schizoanalysis at times). The thing that really identifies the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition is not simply seeing one of its associated themes, but the consistent quirk that finding one of them shortly leads to one of the others, as if none of them were actually separate.

It is currently unknown if critical theory is fully contained within the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition. Due to its connections with poststructuralist frameworks it would appear to overlap with the tradition at least partially. Another uncertain philosophy is Kantian ethics. This is thought to be a precursor to the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition but not formally part of it. There is a particular period of early Liberal-republican thought in the Enlightenment which is distinguishable as Liberal-republicanism, and far after that, there is a break around the time critical theory appears where the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition appears to start. Capital-E Existentialism appears to exist within a period in which the social sciences shifted from large scales toward small scales and began spawning smaller-scale political theories which did not operate the same way as traditional Liberal-republican theory.

In terms of hypotheses about why the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition would have come to exist, one possible hypothesis is that Existentialism is created when anarchists attempt to get into academia and create theories useful to anarchism, but all of the theories simply get co-opted and absorbed back into Liberal-republicanism as its own set of fully-compatible small scale models.

Usage notes

Because "the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition" is not attested in any formal publications or publications reviewed by experts who would be appropriate to judge the history of philosophical fields, it is currently a motif Item (S1). To be classified as Z1, Items require some amount of verification as unique objects or material real-world phenomena; references are usually a sufficient proxy for this, or in some cases such as claims about physics, checking against verified Z2 propositions. The criteria for S1 Items are looser. Any concept imaginable which can be sufficiently defined to the point anyone could understand what it is is acceptable as long as it has enough relevance to other things within the Ontology project which are attested in existing sources. An S1 Item can be defined through examples in existing sources, through prose, or through Wavebuilder combinations (if something is truly so self-explanatory that a E:title comp would almost entirely describe it). Said another way, original research is partly allowed within S1 and S2 Items only if it is comprehensible in relation to existing sources, and does not overstate the confidence level or importance of its current findings. However, it's important to remember that even a lot of "original research" motifs can and will have sources, such as a YouTube video that displayed a phrase or pattern described in the motif Item.
