The American Existential Society

The American Existential Society is an organization dedicated to exploring and promoting existential philosophy, which focuses on individual human experience, freedom, choice, and responsibility. It brings together scholars, students, and enthusiasts to discuss how people find meaning in a complex world, addressing themes like authenticity, anxiety, and mortality. Through conferences, publications, and shared research, the society fosters a deeper understanding of existential ideas and their relevance to personal and societal life. Its aim is to encourage thoughtful reflection on what it means to be human in a modern context.
