He was one of the biggest contributors to modern philosophy and rightfully deserves his fame for what he has done. If Sartre was studied more I believe people would become more humble and understand others in a different way. I’m sure that some people can take his idea’s to a different stand-point but that all depends on them. They are in charge of their life and have to question themselves, what would they be fighting for? No one could truly fight for freedom if we beings couldn’t possibly be free. People can study Sartre just to analyze or argue his working and his idea’s, some could study to know more about him. I implore anybody to contradict Sartre, it’s another way of creating newer theories that can be thought about and talked
