Author Description

This book, Philosophical Reflection on College Students' Sense of Life Meaning from the Perspective of Existentialism, explores how existentialist philosophy can illuminate and guide contemporary college students in constructing and understanding the meaning of life. The work aims to integrate classical existentialist ideas-such as freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and self-awareness-with the real-life experiences and psychological conditions of young people in modern society. The first part of the book provides a theoretical foundation by reviewing the core thoughts of existentialist philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, and Viktor Frankl. It examines how their concepts of existence, choice, and value formation can be applied to the educational and developmental context of university students. The second part focuses on the current situation of college students' sense of life meaning. Through philosophical reflection, psychological observation, and empirical discussion, it analyzes the confusion, anxiety, and value conflicts commonly faced by students. This section identifies both internal and external factors influencing their existential experience-such as the impact of consumer culture, academic pressure, and the search for personal identity. The final part presents a constructive exploration of how existentialist insights can help students shape a more authentic and purposeful life. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, moral responsibility, and active engagement with life's challenges. By connecting philosophical theory with practical education, the book aims to inspire readers to take responsibility for their own existence and to live with meaning and courage. Overall, this book is not merely a theoretical study of existentialism but also a practical guide to cultivating life awareness and existential growth among college students. It contributes to both philosophical education and mental health development, offering a path
