existential
의미: Relating to existence, particularly human existence and its fundamental nature; concerning the core questions of meaning, freedom, choice, and identity that define the human condition.
Existentialism is a philosophical movement associated with Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, and Søren Kierkegaard. It emphasises individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in an apparently meaningless world. In everyday usage, 'existential' has broadened to describe anything that threatens fundamental existence — 'an existential threat' or 'an existential crisis.' An existential crisis is a moment of profound questioning about one's purpose and identity.
