Existentialism is a philosophical theory that recognizes the existence of a kind of direct undifferentiated integrity of subject and object, which is contrary to the traditions of rationalism, treats mediation as a basic principle of thinking. The experience of a man of the world stands out as a true being, interpreted as a direct human existence, or existential.

Heidegger and Sartre noted that this existential being was aspiring to nothing and was aware of its finiteness.

Among them there are called and everyday worries, and fears, as well as the determination to make a person act and conscience and other. All of them are determined by the death.
