Best Answer

Existentialism is the term applied to the collective field of philosophy of a number of 19th and 20th century philosophers.

In short, it seeks to deal with one's own existence and the emotions felt by an individual. It also deals with whether or not a supreme being does exist and what the effect of his existence or non-existence would be on an individual.
