Existentialism

• Existentialism is a form of philosophical inquiry that explores the problem of human existence and centers on the lived experience of the thinking, feeling, acting individual.
• In the view of the existentialist, the individual's starting point has been called "the existential angst" (or, variably, existential attitude, dread, etc.), or a sense of disorientation, confusion, or anxiety in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world.
• A primary virtue in existentialist thought is authenticity.
• Søren Kierkegaard is generally considered to have been the first existentialist philosopher.
• The main idea of existentialism during World War II was developed by Jean-Paul Sartre under the influence of Dostoevsky and Martin Heidegger, whom he read in a POW camp and strongly influenced many disciplines besides philosophy, including theology, drama, art, literature, and psychology.
• According to this philosophy, humans possess free will and stand in an absurd and meaningless world or universe.
• It says that every individual is unique.

Existentialism and Education:

• Existentialism in education is a teaching and learning philosophy that focuses on the student's freedom and agency to choose their future. 
• Existentialist educators believe there is no god or higher power guiding their students.
• The teacher must facilitate for the students.
• Let the students take the first step and the teacher guide them in taking the next.
• Believe in free individuality.
• Education should help the individual to make him a human.
• Focuses on the development of introspective powers- self-observation.
• Its main aim is to develop self-realization in children, the authentic self of the child, the choice-making capacity of the child.
• Education should create consciousness for self.
