No Turks, that sounds wrong to me. That stuff was covered by early philosophers, mmm Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Descartes. Thats all the stuff about apriori / priori sensing etc.
Existentialists say that our view of the world is subjective, therefore no one can really understand the way someone else sees something

Turks, you are falling into the trap of being caught between two kinds of genres of philosophy. Philosophy as spouted by Academics who want to show how big their brains are (boring) and popular philosophy for the masses (tree falling in forest bullshit).
Google a bit of Sartre, Kjierkekaard etc and flip through some of the easier to read things. Then have a look on amazon etc for some introductory type books on philosophy. I cannot remember the name of my first Philosophy book at uni, but it was something like “An introduction to Western Philosophy” and it was exactly that. It gave an interesting overview of Western Philosophy (not political west) from the ancient Greeks through Descartes & Spinoza to Merleua-Ponty, Wittgenstein etc etc. And it was only about 200 pages long. I would lend it to you but it is in an army trunk somewhere in Africa with the bulk of the books from my youth.

” Existentialism concerns the freedom to choose. We are doomed to choose, however, we must accept the consequences of our choices”
Ectchewly, there is a lot more to it than that. There are many flavours of existentialism, for example that of Soren Kjerkegaard, based on religoius leaps of faith, versus the “doomed” view of Sartre.
It largely sucks anyway, things like Hermaneutics (Pharty’s major) are far more interesting (not), or you can get stuck into Heidigger and Hegal, about whom people still argue to this day (wot exactly woz they on about then).
Better still, go back to the ancients, far more intersting people then, Stoics, Nihilists, Sophists….
Now, Sophists makes me think of Saphists, yummy, a far more interesting subject. I would deffo be a lesbo if I were born a wench, I just love fanny that much. 😈
