This seven-page 2nd level paper discusses important existential issues. Existentialism does not have a precise definition. The doctrines to which the term has been applied are various, but a number of common themes may be identified. The first is the primacy of the individual, and of individual choice, over systems and concepts which attempt to explain him. An investigation of three theories in this area showed that God's presence or atheism dominated the way the theory was formulated. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
