Existentialism is a philosophical approach that explores the individual's experience of existence and the fundamental questions surrounding human existence. At its core, existentialism grapples with themes such as freedom, choice, authenticity, anxiety, and the search for meaning in an inherently uncertain and often absurd world. Individuals are responsible for creating their own meaning and identity through their actions and choices rather than adhering to predetermined roles or essential qualities. Existentialists emphasize the individual's radical freedom to make choices, while also highlighting the inherent responsibility that comes with this freedom. Overall, existentialism invites individuals to confront the challenges of existence, make meaningful choices, and find personal meaning and authenticity in a world that lacks inherent meaning or prescribed purpose.
