Lesson 2 Existential Psychology-Freedom, Meaning, and Authenticity by RJ Starr

In Lesson 2 of “Introduction to Kantian Existential Psychology,” RJ Starr explores existential psychology’s focus on personal freedom, meaning-making, and authenticity. Building on Kant’s ideas of rational autonomy, this session examines how existential thinkers like Sartre, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche redefined what it means to live responsibly in a world without inherent meaning. Through case examples, emotional insights, and therapeutic relevance, this lesson offers a rich look at how philosophy helps us navigate guilt, choice, identity, and the tension between freedom and fear.
