ABSTRACT
Is the notion of existential choice still viable in the 21st century, or have we outgrown it? Is the notion not only naive but dangerous, inasmuch as it celebrates irrational, indefensible, and arbitrary decision? This chapter defends the reality of existential choice and the need for it; lays out some important ways of existing; distinguishes existential choice from other forms of choice; and describes how temporality is transformed in a moment of crisis.
