egzisztenciális

egzisztenciális is a Hungarian adjective derived from the word "egzisztencia" which translates to "existence". It is used to describe something related to or concerning existence, particularly in the philosophical sense. The term often appears in discussions about existentialism, a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice.

When something is described as egzisztenciális, it refers to matters of fundamental being, the nature of reality, and the human condition. This can include themes such as meaning, purpose, death, freedom, and responsibility. In a broader context, it can also refer to the basic necessities for survival and well-being, such as having a place to live or access to food.

The adjective is used to categorize problems or questions that are deeply rooted in the nature of existence itself. For example, an egzisztenciális crisis might refer to a profound questioning of one's life's meaning or purpose. Similarly, egzisztenciális threats are those that endanger the very existence of something, whether it be an individual, a species, or a concept. The term carries a weight of seriousness, pointing to fundamental aspects of life and being.
