Existentialism emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries as a response to the increasing emphasis on individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in a seemingly absurd world. Influential thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Heidegger contributed to the development of existentialist ideas, which focus on the importance of personal choice, authenticity, and the experience of individual existence.
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.
Atheists have friends like anyone else; existentialism is irrelevant.

Existentialism is not a single school of thought but rather a label applied to several systems that are influenced by the theories of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). Existentialist thinkers consider one problem: human existence in an unfathomable universe.
