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 1.
The Motivation for Being (Existence)
- Here we are motivated by the fundamental question of existing in the world – ‘Do I have the necessary space, protection and support in the world?’ Our model below shows this as: Thoughts/Cognition, perception of the reality and the facts. I am here, but can I be? Am I giving my consent to my place in the world with my capabilities and the world circumstances around me?
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.
