In “Existentialism is a Humanism,” Jean Paul Sartre claims that when we choose, we choose for all mankind. He also claims that our existence precedes our essence. Explain what those claims mean. Are they compatible? Why or why not?
This question is based from the book Existentialism in Humanism, Jean Paul Sartre 1946. You can find the text from: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/sartre/works/exist/sartre.htm
Please give brief information about Sartre’s philosophy in introduction
Please provide a deep analysis of why Sartre thinks “when we choose we choose all mankind”
Please use quotations from the link I provided.
NO ADDITIONAL SOURCES please, only in the works cited the Existentialism is a Humanism book. and when citing in text (Sartre, line number)
Please tell what he means by our existence precedes to our essence. And then choose if they are compatible or not by stating the reasoning.
Please have a clear thesis statement and topic sentences this is very important!
Please use sophisticated vocabulary and write full 2 pages with a deep analysis.
Please definitely mention the term anguish also the terms freedom of will and freedom of action which are the opposites as we discussed them in class.
(sartre believes in freedom of will: because you can decide everything in life you focus on yourself and despair is when you realise you have freedom of will but not action.
Sartre doesn’t believe to freedom of action: free to act however outside sources prevent it)
