Paper Summary:
This paper explains that the ability to choose and make decisions is a basic premise of Sartre's existentialist philosophy. It explains how, from this basic premise, Sartre formed his ideas on "being", self-identity, freedom, and responsibility.From the Paper:
"Sartre's existentialist philosophy maintains that existence is created through choices made by one's self. He denied the existence of human nature, and asserted that the existence and identity of humanity is determined by the choices that individuals make. Decision itself is at the core of Sartre's theory, and he sees every moment from birth onward as a choice made by the individual. Even if a person neglects to make a decision, he still made the choice not to choose."More papers on Sartre's Existentialist Philosophy:
