Existentialism is a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.
Main Themes:
- The importance of the individual
- The importance of choice
- Anxiety regarding life, death, contingencies, and extreme situations
- Meaning and Absurdity
- Authenticity
- Social Criticism
- The importance of social relationships
- Atheism and Religion
The person described in "Nowhere Man" by the Beatles could be seen as an EXISTENTIAL CHARACTER searching for meaning and purpose sitting in his "...nowhere land making nowhere plans for nobody..."
