چکیده
اگزیستانسیالیسم به معنای «اصالت وجود» یا «تقدم وجود» است. این مکتب با سورن کی یرکگارد در دهه 1830 میلادی روی کار آمد؛ گرچه زمینه های آن وجود داشت. تقدم وجود بر ماهیت، مسئولیت، آزادی، دلهره، انتخاب و... از ویژگی های این مکتب است. در اگزیستانسیالیسم، انسان غریب است، چرا که از جنس طبیعت نیست. در مکانی رها شده که نه از جنس اوست و نه برای او ساخته شده. او ویژگی فطری ندارد و ماهیت خود را خودش به وجود می آورد. نخستین هدف اگزیستانسیالیسم آن است که انسان را از هویت خود باخبر سازد و او را نسبت به وجودش و وجود همه انسان ها مسئول کند. او باید با انتخاب آزاد، سرنوشت خود را رقم بزند. اگزیستانسیالیسم در ایران در دهه های چهل و پنجاه با تلاش های سید احمد فردید و علی شریعتی بر سر زبان ها افتاد. مصطفی مستور یکی از داستان نویسان بنام معاصر است. اولین کار ادبی او، دو چشم خانه خیس، در سال 1369 و اولین مجموعه داستانی وی، عشق روی پیاده رو، در سال 1377 به چاپ رسید. در داستان های مستور که بیشتر به اندیشه های ایمانی سورن کی یرکگارد می انجامند به ویژه روی ماه خداوند را ببوس، استخوان خوک و دست های جذامی و من گنجشک نیستم، پاره ای از ویژگی های اگزیستانسیالیستی همچون اصالت وجود، تنهایی، یأس، دلهره، بدبینی و... دیده می شود که در این مقاله به آنها پرداخته شده است.The Existentialism School Features in Mostafa Mastoor's Stories

He does not have innate features and creates his own nature. The first purpose of existentialism is a stranger man, because he is not made of nature. They are left in a place that is neither of their genders nor made for them. The first purpose of existentialism is to make a man aware of his identity and make him responsible for his own existence and the existence of all human beings. He must make his own destiny with free choice. Existentialism in Iran in the 1940s and 1950s fell on Sayyed Ahmed Fardid and Ali Shariati's efforts.

In the story "Kiss the Lovely Face of God", Yunus passed through the stage of beauty, prosperity, and morality by doubting and raising questions and gained a new faith. In the story of Pig’s Bone and Leper’s Hands, Susan, who was a tart, fell in love with Kianush by her choice and changed her nature and destiny. In the story, I am not a sparrow, Ibrahim also said that I am no longer a sparrow (the symbol of someone who is in the stage of beauty and success) and this means progressing to excellence and being different.
