I hear people say they’re having an “existential crisis”, but can never fully grasp what that means. Or, that Jean-Paul Satre was an “existential writer.” What makes him so?

Existentialism and having an existential crisis are nearly opposites. An existential crisis occurs in a time period where an individual questions their role in life and purpose. Existentialism is the philosophy that an individual gets to dictate their purpose in life, having no pre-designated fate or role.
