The Concept of the Meaning of Life and Human Responsibility in Existentialist Philosophy

The question of the meaning of life occupies a central place in existentialist philosophy, which emerged as a response to the crises of modernity, alienation, and loss of traditional values. Existentialist thinkers argue that life has no predetermined meaning and that individuals are responsible for creating meaning through their choices and actions. This article analyzes the existentialist understanding of the meaning of life and explores the concept of human responsibility as a fundamental ethical principle. By examining the ideas of key existentialist philosophers, the study highlights the significance of freedom, choice, and responsibility in shaping human existence.生命意义的议题在存在主义哲学中占据核心地位，而存在主义哲学正是为应对现代性危机、异化现象与传统价值失落而兴起的哲学思潮。存在主义思想家主张，生命并无预先设定的固有意义，个体需通过自身的选择与行动来主动创造生命的意义。本文分析了存在主义视域下对生命意义的理解，并探讨了作为根本伦理原则的人类责任概念。本研究通过考察关键存在主义哲学家的思想，凸显了自由、选择与责任在型塑人类生存历程中的重要意义。
