Description
Summary:The intellectual movement called existentialism (Spiegelberg, 1960, Luipen, 1963, Sartre, 1957) has been a major force in shaping our modern understanding of the nature of human existence. It emphasizes the primacy of living (existence) over that of thinking (essence) and it establishes the importance of the individual person as a choosing and responsible agent, capable of consciousness, of willing, and of actualizing intentions. Existentialism states that we are world-creat- ing and culture-building creatures. Endowed with situated freedom of choice, we are responsible for the kind of relationships and world we create.
