The question of the meaning of life and philosophy is born at the same time in the Greek world. The anguish generated by the finitude of human existence is what motivates man to ask about the meaning of life. Existentialist thinking retakes the question of man and his existence, returning to reflect on freedom and history. This work seeks to identify the concepts related to the meaning of life in existentialist thinking applying the method of historization. The central thesis in this writing is that these concepts influence the philosophy of Ellacuría allowing him to propose to the historical human being as a philosophical foundation of the meaning of life.
