Understanding Sartrean Existential Ethics: A Critical Analysis

In this paper, I will try to elucidate and critically analyze (1) Jean-Paul Sartre’s ontology, the being-in-itself and being-for-itself, and nothingness (2) Sartre’s rejection of a god (3) three famous quotations from Jean-Paul Sartre: (a) Existence precedes essence. (b) Each man is responsible for all men. (c) Man is condemned to be free. (4) Phenomenology of responsibility, in the hope of having an answer to why the contemporary world is having a damaged life as far as Sartre is concerned. This paper will also examine whether Sartre has something to do with the destruction of some values, be it directly or indirectly.
