I think its cool how western philosophy in the 20th century has reached a similar understanding to concepts known to eastern philosophy for thousands of years

for those who do not know about Existentialism, this series will be fascinating...The influence of Sartre is profound.

Tous vos jugements prétendument scientifico-philosophiques, toutes vos remarques à l'endroit de Sartre, tous vos commentaires en somme, procèdent d'une ignorance totale du "socle"de la philosophie : vous salissez de votre orthographe approximative, de votre grammaire improbable une page qui devrait être réservée à ceux qui cherchent et aiment à penser, or vous y videz la substance noirâtre qui comble vos crânes. Gardez donc le silence et vos conseils ! A force d'en donner vous n'en aurez plus !

Doesn't scare me... strange that is does scare some... must stem from a loss of faith in old modes of thinking that i never had.

[spunkets]

Sartre was blind in one eye (pun intended) and not able to accept biological, geographical, familial, cultural, environmental determinants which condition whatever freedoms we may assume.

Not a science guy.

txs. Have been ploughing through Satre, and gotten stuck on the victim-aggressor level/model. But yes, I agree that he meant we are free - but don't realize it.

Especially like the phrase: " we are free but we're locked into a society that has already interpreted the world for us, without our consent."

This makes one feel trapped - until it is seen that we swallowed this interpretation.

We must set our own questions - and answer them, ourselves.

@lyfft I think Sartre meant that we are free but we don't realize it, i.e. we 're free to interpret the world absolutely any way we like. All values are changeable. Nothing is fixed. But the current society we live in passes ideas over as fact, unquestionable values. So yes we are free but we're locked into a society that has already interpreted the world for us, without our consent.

fucking commie

@SanGuevara All meaning/essence/purpose is subjective. In a universe without living creatures, meaning would not exist, as long as object that are not conscious (as far as we can tell), are not conscious.

[bradominus1]

Sartre just borrowed from other philosphers like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Nietzsche proclaimed man's freedom years earlier...
