The philosophy of existentialism is based on the belief that individual human beings face a meaningless, absurd, and science-oriented world. Individuals must therefore find or construct meaning for their existence and answer their own questions about self-identity and truth. The philosophy of phenomenology is the study of human experience and the interpretation of experience. Phenomenology is a close cousin to existentialism. Both echo many of the themes of earlier philosophies, particularly realism and transcendentalism,and in turn had an effect on other ways of thinking. Existentialism and phenomenology influenced theological and humanist thinkers, such as Martin Buber and Abraham Maslow. The former focused on the I-Thou and teacher-student relationships, while the latter theorized about the hierarchy of human needs and the ultimate need for self-actualization. 5.
