Annotation A person is constantly confronted with constantly changing reality, emphasizes his attention to a group of existential values. The reality which is subjected to frequent changes shapes the meanings that are meaningful for all and at all times, it makes us constantly reflect, muse about the meaning of human life, enduring values such as good and evil, truth and error, beauty and ugliness, freedom and dependence, life and death, the meaning and purpose of life, etc. Occurring events affect the inner world of a man in the surrounding reality, and the central moment here is the experience of the person himself with the appropriate personal characteristics and mental states. A person needs a huge inner work to revise and transform his own personality, his life goals, meanings, strategies, values. In this way, the individual develops universally valid and lasting meanings in this reality, chastely broadcasting them to future generations. Existential values form the worldview nature of the individual. Today, this process acquires new contours due to the dynamically changing social determinants, which cause the special significance of studying the processes taking place in the value consciousness of society. The author conducts a philosophical and historical analysis of the existential studies of such outstanding thinkers as K. Jaspers, M. Heidegger, J. P. Sartre, V. Frankl, I. D. Yalom, F. M. Dostoevsky, comparing with the existential analysis of the landmarks and meaningful principles of man in modern society, which can arouse the scientific interest of researchers of existential philosophy.
Key words existentialism, freedom, isolation, choice, problem of death, meaning of life
