ekzistencializëm

ekzistencializëm

A philosophic movement primarily associated with the mid-20th century, in part arising from phenomenology (see J. P. Sarte, M. Heidegger, K. Jaspers, A. Camus, etc. ) that insists that human beings have no essential purpose or nature, but simply exist, having the “terrible freedom” of arbitrary decision.
