In existentialism, death is not simply a biological event but a fundamental part of the human condition that gives life meaning and demands authenticity. Awareness of one’s own mortality—being-towards-death—induces anxiety but also frees individuals to create their own purpose, values, and authentic choices, rather than conforming to societal norms. Confronting death authentically allows for a life lived to the fullest, recognizing that the time available is limited and each action has significance.Â
