    Existentialism

    • Is the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives. Our
    individual purpose and meaning is not given to us by Gods, governments, teachers or other authorities.
    • Existentialists believe that “existence precedes essence” meaning, man, unlike natural things, objects,
    organisms, does not have his essential nature given to him as an already realized possibility.
    • Human nature is made, not inborn.

    Proponent

    The considered founding figures or original giants were: Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), Friedrich
    Nietzsche (1844-1900), Fyodor Dostoevsky. It became more prominent and widely- known after WWII due to
    the following figures: Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980).

    Criticism

    • It is hard to choose your own existence when we are dependent on outside stimuli like money and survival.
