In common usage, '''existence''' is the world of which we are aware through our senses, but in [[philosophy]] the word has a more specialized [[meaning]], and is often contrasted with [[essence]].  Philosophers investigate questions such as "What exists?"  "How do we know?"  "To what extent are the senses a reliable guide to existence?"  "What is the meaning, if any, of assertions of the existence of categories, [[idea]]s, and abstractions."
