- Title
Existentialism: A Philosophical Approach in Literature.
- Authors
Mahajan, Aarti
- Abstract
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 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. In this paper focuses on the philosophical approach of existentialism in literature.
