The other definition here is correct to a certain extent but it is really much more than that. It stresses individuality and freedom of choice but it also stresses an individuals responsibility to the choices he makes. Also discards all religion as a means to control human behavior. Existentialism is still a current movement but its most influential members came in the early 1900's. They include Sartre, Camus and Dostoevsky.

The conundrum that will is a real phenomenon appearing from a false meta-state (materialism) and sense is a false phenomenon appearing from a real meta-state (sensualism).
The inability (and representational necessity) of a human being to tell the difference between individual will and sense or to confuse will FOR sense.
The conundrum of existentialism is equivalent to the a priori/a posteriori problem.
In contrastive religion, the sensualist divergence between Judaism and Hinduism.
Existentialism poses a conundrum: is sense will or is will sense?
It turns out that sensualISM is representationally individual will and collective will is meta-representationally individual sense.
Meta (self) - representation or tautology is the meta-state behind the existential conundrum.

Existentialism is essentially about having to make choices. Every action and every non-action is the result of a choice to do, or not to do, something. The summation of those decisions - to act or not to act - is you - who you are.
"I was only following orders". Not so, you have the choice to follow or not to follow the orders. Only YOU can make the choice.. Your life is a succession of decisions. And those decisions create who you are.
