  1. existentialist philosopher

    An existentialist philosopher is a thinker who explores the ideas central to existentialism, a philosophy that focuses on the individual's subjective experience, personal freedom, choice, and responsibility in a world perceived as either indifferent or hostile. Existentialist philosophers typically examine notions like human existence, consciousness, meaninglessness, despair, anxiety, and absurdity. They emphasize the concept that existence precedes essence, signifying that individuals define their own essence or purpose through their actions and decisions. Notable existentialist philosophers include Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Albert Camus, among others.
