this is a rather long post. but in my opinion, it's a very interesting study.

Existentialism is a very interesting movement. it's a term used for the focus of philosophical thoughts dealing with emotions, actions, responsibilities and thoughts of the individual person and their conditions of existence. it emphasises the individual but it defers in different ways such as how one achieves, what constitutes a fulfilling life, what obstacles must we overcome, what external and internal factors are involved, including the potential consequences of the existence or non-existence of God. Existentialism also show the importance of human individuality and freedom.

a quote from a wise man, Søren Kierkegaard, one of the first two philosopher considered fundamental to the Existentialist Movement...
"What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ... I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is what I now recognize as the most important thing."

if i have the chance to study at a well known university or college, i'll be more than delighted to study on Existentialism and Illuminati.
