    What does it mean to truly exist? This classic question invites us to explore the nature of being, pushing us beyond mere physical presence. Existentialists argue that existence precedes essence, suggesting that we must define our purpose individually. Others, like Aristotle, viewed essence as intrinsic, preceding existence itself. How do values influence our existence? Relativists claim values are subjective, shaped by culture, while objectivists argue for universal truths. How does knowledge factor into existence? Is it through reason or experience that we comprehend our world? These inquiries not only question reality but challenge us to articulate the meaning of our own lives and the values we choose to live by.
