Existentialism (/zstnlzm/) [1] /ksstntlzm/ [2]) is a method of philosophical investigation that focuses on the
subjective experience of thinking, feeling, and behaving. [3] [4] For instance, an existentialist has referred to the
individual’s starting point as “existential angst,” a sensation of dread, disorientation, perplexity, or anxiety in the
face of an obviously meaningless or ludicrous universe. [5] Existential philosophers regularly ponder the
meaning, purpose, and value of human existence.
Existentialism is connected with a group of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European philosophers who,
despite often fundamental disagreements in philosophy, shared a focus on the human subject.
[6]
[4][7] Among the early personalities connected with existentialism include philosophers Sren Kierkegaard and
Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as author Fyodor Dostoevsky, who all opposed rationality and focused on the issue
of meaning. Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Simone de Beauvoir, Karl Jaspers, Gabriel
Marcel, and Paul Tillich were all significant existentialist theorists of the twentieth century.
Numerous existentialists believed that conventional systematic or academic ideologies were excessively abstract
and distant from actual human experience, both in style and substance.

[9] Authenticity is a crucial attribute in existential thinking. [10] Existentialism influenced a wide variety of
fields other than philosophy, including as religion, theatre, art, literature, and psychology. [11]
