@ Pansy: You will likely get everyone in here putting their two cents into this question, but perhaps that's because of the nature of existentialism. To me, it is the study of how humans experience existence, but with particular attention to the most confounding experiences there are, i.e. emotions, sense of self, values, meaning, purpose, etc.

I personally classify existentialism as an umbrella discipline containing all the elements of ethics, values, and psychology, but distinct from metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, and so on. This is because I think existentialism is the proper perspective for understanding the whole range of subjective human experience, whereas other fields try to maintain as much objectivity as possible.
