To think existential means to shape up.

To See the world, to think, to live existential – this is really a special style of life or another dust in the eyes is not enough for an educated layman?

Any student will tell you that existentialism – it's quite young (he was about a hundred years) philosophical movement, developed first in Germany, then in France and Russia. It conquered the world.

This Term in Latin means “existence”. The basic idea of the exercise: the person himself determines the meaning of its essence has already been born. Living, making mistakes and deeds, every day he creates himself through the choices. Therefore, the category of freedom withdrawn a huge role, viewing it as a set of opportunities and responsibility at the same time. This man, thinking existentially, – this is the traveler in search of yourself, your meaning of life constantly, understanding their daily changing nature.

Out of the philosophical cradle, a new trend has gained followers in other spheres of public life. First of all it concerns of pedagogy and psychology. The existential approach in psychology considers any human problem as unique and unrepeatable as it avoid the use of classifications and templates. The main goal is to help make sense of reality and to develop their attitude to it, because to live existentially is to be free from others ' opinions, condemnations and approvals.

The New trend has been developed in pedagogy. This resulted in the selection of the key knowledge that should be possessed by each. Among all Sciences the most important, existential bred, – this science is to know yourself and to chart a positive path of development and improvement. Thus education should help solve essential human problems, which include issues of life and death, freedom and choice, responsibility, communication and loneliness. Inattention to these problems may lead to existential crisis, which is associated with deviant and delinquent behavior, psychological disorders and even suicidal tendencies. In this regard, is building a new, existential education strategy, the center of which – the man and his problems.

Thus, existentialism – this concept, already released beyond philosophy and fills a different sector of society. It is therefore quite justified its use in different everyday situations. It becomes clear that the existential man has the following qualities: is in search of the essence of life, its meaning and purpose; laying responsibility not only for personal choice, but for loved ones; understands that people are connected and affect each other; ready to see Nothing, that is death – this will free him from the shackles of public opinion and social conventions. Probably modern, existential thinking, man is distinguished from the heroes of Sartre or Camus, but still appeal to their works to create a philosophical term new shades, giving it vitality.
