In this essay I will be focusing and writing about an extract from the book existentialism and humanism ‘you are free, therefore choose – that is to say, invent. No rule of general morality can show you what to do.’ (Sartre, 2007, p. 43) During this I will be discussing about Sartre and his work and my views on the text and how it compares to other philosophers.
John Paul Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, biographer, political activist and literacy critic. He was one of the key persons in the area of philosophy on the topics of existentialism and phenomenology. His work was also and influences towards sociology, post-colonial theory, critical theory and literacy studies and continues to be an influence to these disciplines.
A main part of johns Paul sarte was his novels on his work of the conflict between oppressive, spiritually destructive conformity (which he describes as bad faith) and the general being and authentic way a person should live. This became the dominant theme of sarte early work …show more content…
43) I agree with this because when I read the sentence it describes to me as a human that I am free to make my own decisions in life and that I have to understand that every time I choose to do or not do something it can affect the overall outcome that I am basically inventing through my actions and decisions. because if I was not free as Sartre says then I would be oppressed this is not the case because as a human being I am able to make my own decision regardless of what and how other people have influenced or continue to influence me. Also I strongly agree with sarte when in the sentence he says “that is to say invent-no rule of general morality should show you what to do ” because I believe that what he is saying you are free to invent your own path no matter what you decide or what others think of
