Comparative study on the concept of freedom in existential philosophy and existential psychology

Since the dawn of humanity, the human search for meaning has continued and will continue. Thinking about and discussing the concept of freedom has been one of the prominent subjects in this search for meaning. The question of whether human beings are free in making their choices is a question on which philosophers and psychologists have different opinions in both philosophy and psychology. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the literature by analyzing and comparing the perspectives of these two approaches to the concept of freedom in the light of the works of thinkers and psychologists representing the approaches of existential psychology and existential philosophy, and by revealing the similarities and differences of the approaches of existential psychology and existential philosophy to the concept of freedom.
