Revision as of 17:30, 21 April 2002 by Damian Yerrick (talk | contribs) (- /Talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Existentialism is a philosophical movement primarily identified by common themes.
Primary amongst these themes is Sartre's notion that "existence precedes essence," which is generally taken to mean that there is no pre-defined moral or spiritual essence to humanity, except that which we make for ourselves.
See philosophy for a list of other concepts related to existentialism.
