Existentialism is the philosophical and cultural movement which holds that the starting point of philosophical thinking must be the experiences of the individual. This term has grand significance to the field of Cultural Entomology, which relies on the unique sentient experience of every individual to build a bridge between the sciences and the humanities in insect studies. And the insect influence on the human society goes back as far as recorded history.
