Existentialism is a term applied to the work of a number of philosophers since the 19th century who, despite large differences in their positions generally focused on the condition of human existence, and an individual's emotions, actions, responsibilities, and thoughts, or the meaning or purpose of life. Existential philosophers often focused more on what they believe is subjective, such as beliefs and religion, or human states,feelings, and emotions, such as freedom, pain, guilt, and regret, as opposed to analyzing objective knowledge, language, or science which is a higher pursuit of truth.
Philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche offer very different takes on the idea of existentialism. Ultimately, the different types of existentialism rest on the unified idea of examining human existence.
Existentialism in adult learning theory emphasizes the importance of individual choice, responsibility, and self-awareness. It encourages adult learners to reflect on their values, beliefs, and goals, and to take ownership of their learning journey. Existentialist principles can empower adult learners to seek meaning and purpose in their education and personal development.

One disadvantage of existentialism is that it can be seen as leading to a sense of isolation or despair, as it emphasizes individual responsibility for creating meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. Additionally, some critics argue that existentialism's focus on personal freedom and choice ignores the influence of social and cultural factors on human behavior.
