Study material prepared by Dr. S. Sreekumar for students of Indian
Universities.
Existentialism
is a philosophical doctrine that became popular in Europe after the Second
World War. It is chiefly concerned with man’s existence and his situation. It
believes that man is a unique but isolated being living in an indifferent or
hostile universe. At the same time man is responsible for his actions and also
free to choose his own destiny.
