Existentialism

What is existentialism?

Existentialism is a kind of philosophy that begins from the concrete reality of the human individual’s existence in the world. What is shared by all humans in their day to day life becomes a foundation for knowledge and the nature of reality. Existentialism is focused on human experience from the first person, some “me” or “I.”
