Abstract

There are two concepts underlying philosophy of existentialism. These are the essence and the entity. The essence is what
makes a being and what makes it itself. The ancient philosophers said that they came before this essence movement,
essence, existence, and that every entity came to existence world with a certain essence. These philosophies continue to
exist under philosophical philosophy.
According to existentialism, research on existence requires confronting different possibilities that one must choose from
among the existing ones. In other words, existentialist philosophy advocates that the essence of existence precedes
essence, not before the essence of existence, in the way that traditional philosophy suggests. When people first exist, then
they define themselves and express their own identity.
Existentialism reveals that the universe is essentially absurd or meaningless, that there is no rational side of the universe,
and that it is given by people to make sense of the universe.
