Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between self-awareness and existential meaning from a phenomenological perspective. By analyzing the fundamental theories and methods of phenomenology, this paper reveals the central role of self-awareness in elucidating individual existential meaning and emphasizes the importance of engaging in self-reflection and experience in daily life. The study finds that self-awareness and existential meaning are mutually constitutive under a phenomenological perspective, which provides guidance for modern individuals in seeking and establishing their personal values. Although the research has limitations, it offers a theoretical foundation for further exploration of phenomenology in the fields of self-awareness and existential meaning.
