Abstract: This essay proposes a philosophical reflection on the notions of essence and existence, drawing from their classical foundations and existentialist developments through a contemporary and lived lens. Engaging with thinkers such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and Ricoeur, the text does not aim to offer definitive answers, but rather a conceptual passage between what constitutes us and how we choose to exist. Between an essence that pulses as continuity and an existence revealed in time and action, a third path emerges: being as listening and promise. The essay is also a subjective exercise, interweaving theory and experience, thought and flesh, silence and word.
