it's nice how they ended the series with a picture of Nietzsche hanging in a library

@lexpie Only way to live life is moaning about stuff that matters. It seems like most people moan about stuff that does not matter.

"the burden of freedom is too weighty - maybe we are in a time where people dont want to hear about freedom." wise words. the picture of nietzsche after that is poetic. thank you for the upload.

@PeopleOfAr If they are all to be respected equally, then everyone including the holder of each belief will have to aknowledge that they're arbitrary. There cannot -- logically -- exist multiple, conflicting truths.

@itsroxc89 Makes perfect sense to me.

thanks for uploading!

freedom...I guess people can have a SENSE of freedom and Sartre's take on this is admirable, but we can't help being reconstructed and influenced by everything that is around us & everything that is presented to us. Sartre presents what he believes yet he is only free in his thoughts and life choices being bound into the time and space he was living in. I don't know if I make sense.but I don't think we can reach absolute freedom. then again, it's relative to the individual

true, not only defiant also dangerous. Defiant is but one stigmatization of critics. I think it's troublesome, but maybe not that new or surprising. Don't get me wrong I really like Sartre and I dont want to sound arrogant, but I'm not sure about doctrines. I don't mind religious people as well. I don't think they are very different from others. Everyone has personal myths about the universe and meaning of life. None can be proven definite, but all ought to be respected equally imo.

I see what your saying. The subjective experience can not be attained if one chooses to follow someone else' formula. But the good thing about Sartre is unlike religion, or societal ethics and norms, he doesn't give a step by step format on how to live. He plants the seed by encouraging psychological independence, and the rest is up to the individual. I agree you don't see criticism in practice nowadays. It is frowned upon and those who have questions for everything are seen as defiant.

[PeopleOfAr]

Being critical is a nice academic virtue, but I haven't seen much of it in practice. I just think instructing the creation of own meaning undermines the definition of own. How would it be own if one would follow Sartre? Thats all.
