In our pursuit of a meaningful and fulfilling life, existential analysis provides a framework that highlights four fundamental motivations essential for human existence. These motivations address our core needs and guide us in navigating the complexities of life. In this short course Sandy will guide you through Fundamental Motivation 2.
The Motivation for Life (Enjoyment)
- This motivation focuses on the capacity to experience life as valuable and enjoyable. Our model below shows this as: Emotions, listing the values, weighing all possibilities. Do I experience fulfilment, affection and appreciation of values? A focus on life with its networks of relationships and feelings.
These four fundamental motivations are essential for achieving eudaimonia, a state of living in accordance with one’s true self. They provide a comprehensive understanding of the essential needs that must be met for a fulfilling and authentic life.
