The goal of the paper is to outline and comment on the basic features of the semantic field of the existential discourse, especially its key concepts, i.e. existential literature on the one hand and Existentialism on the other hand. The paper offers the text that presents the overview research into existential phenomena focused on the world and Czech contexts, however, not only in the area of literary science, but also in the wider area, mostly the philosophical one. The research into the theoretical practice of existential thinking has in the long term run been showing inconsistency, even vagueness in the use of the terminology of the existential discourse as the same terms often have had various meanings. With regard to the standard frameworks applied to thinking about Existentialism, the outcome of the paper lies in showing the varied approach to the term Existentialism, or a complete abandonment to favour the term as the key term of the existential discourse. The same applies to literary science as well as philosophy, while the theory and history of philosophy have been trying to grasp the existential phenomena in a more appropriate way independent of the traditional understanding preferring Existentialism as defined mainly by J.-P. Sartre. In the context of literary science the outcomes of the paper can only prove useful after the new existential discourses seen in a wider sense have been applied to particular literary practice, e.g. Slovak literature of the 20th century.
