Existential Givens

Existential Givens is a theoretical construct in existential psychology that refers to the invariant and irreducible conditions of human existence—such as freedom, mortality, isolation, and meaninglessness—whose acknowledgment forms the foundational framework for understanding psychological authenticity and the individual’s confrontation with the inherent dilemmas of the human condition.
