Existentialism is a
philosophical view that stresses on concrete individual existence and
consequently, on subjectivity, individual freedom, and choice. Elements of
Existentialism can be found in the works of Plato (the thoughts and the life of
Socrates), in the Bible, and in the works of many pre-modern philosophers and
writers, but Existentialism itself is a philosophical and literary movements
from that belongs to the 19th and 20th centuries.
