Existentialism, Freedom, Authenticity, Absurdity.

Existentialism, a philosophical movement emerging in the 19th and 20th centuries, offers a complete examination of human existence by highlighting concepts like authenticity, freedom, and facing absurdity. This essay investigates existentialist philosophy to muddle its views on proper autonomy and how it relates to human responsibility and agency. Negotiated on the babblings of existentialists including Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre, this essay dilutes the notion of individual freedom as a fundamental component of existentialist philosophy. Existentialists argue that people have radical freedom, meaning they can control their fate through decisions and deeds. In the realm of existentialist philosophy, authenticity emerges as a sporadic principle that emphasizes the significance of living in line with one's actual self and values. People may live honorably and passionately by disowning their independence and taking ownership of their lives. This allows them to transcend atypical societal norms and customs. Also, recognizing the knowledge that life has no intrinsic meaning or purpose is confronted by existentialism, which highlights the absurdity of human existence. People can face the absurdity of life and confirm their ability to bring meaning and importance to an apparently uncaring universe by engaging in acts of revolt and revolution.
