Existentialism refers to a perspective that focuses on the search for meaning, free will and choice. It initiated in the 19th century and was applied by numerous philosophers and psychologists such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus.
This perspective leads an<u> individual to question his/her existence and states that everyone should be free and responsible for their own choices</u>. An existential perspective allows an individual to make a decision based on its pure meaning and emotions instead of using reason or knowledge.
