  1. Existentialism is a philosophical movement which focuses on individual 
  2. existence, choice and subjectivity. It went against the philosophical 
  3. norm that proposed a common ethical good. Soren Kierkegaard, the 
  4. first writer to label himself an existentialist, believed that it was up to 
  5. individuals to identify their own moral high ground. Other existentialists 
  6. include Friedrich Nietzsche, Albert Camus and W. F. Hegel.
