In summary, existential theory is a philosophical approach that examines human existence and the search for meaning in life. It emphasizes individual experience, freedom, choice, responsibility, and the concept of authenticity. The "last proposition" in this theory refers to the final realization and acceptance of one's existence. Death is seen as an inevitable part of life and therapy in this approach focuses on helping individuals confront their anxieties and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
