ABSTRACT

Existential thinking is a steadfast and loyal endeavour to reflect on everyday human reality in order to make sense of it. As a practice it is probably as old as the human ability to reflect. Every now and then the human mind becomes so engrossed in itself that it replaces its humble search for the truths that surpass and define us with the illusion of absolute knowledge and mastery over these same truths. This may lead to technological progress, but we inevitably pay an enormous price by losing touch with the mysteries that command our everyday lives.
