Jean-Paul Sartre made reflection and philosophy glamorous.
He was born in Paris in 1905. His father, who was captain in the Navy, died when he was a child
He grew up very close to his mother until he married his mother when he was twelve years old.
Sartre spent most of his life in Paris, where he often went to cafes on the left bank.
He was suffering from strabismus, wearing heavy glasses. It was very short
(5’3 feet) (160 cm) and often described himself as ugly.
By the 1960s, Sartre was a familiar name in Europe and the United States,
And so was his chosen philosophy, existentialism.
Sartre was best known for his book Being and Nothing (1943), which strengthened his reputation
Not because people understood his ideas
But because they could not.
The existentialism was built around a number of key ideas:
1. Things are stranger than we think
Sartre is alert for a moment in which the world reveals itself as it is, strangest and most impressed by what we recognize;
Moments when the logic we attribute to him is futile
Things seem too policewoman to even silly and scary.
Sartre’s first novel – Nausea, published in 1938 – is full of evocations of such moments.
At some point, Hero Rockwinten, a 30-year-old writer,
Lives in a picturesque French seaside town, on the tram.
He puts his hand on the seat, but pulls it quickly.
Although the seat is a piece of plain, plain design, hardly worth a moment’s reflection,
He looked like a very strange.
The word ‘seat’ has been removed from its brackets,
What you refer to, radiates all his primitive instincts, as if he had never seen one before.
Roquintin had to remind himself that this thing next to him was something for people to sit on.
For a moment of horror, Roccoenten called what Sartre calls “the absurdity of the world.”
Such a moment is the heart of Sartre’s philosophy. Being Sartre means being aware of her existence
As when it was stripped of any prior judgments
And proven assumptions made to us by our daily routine.
We can experience Sartre’s perspective on many aspects of our lives.
Think of what you call “dinner with your partner”.
Under such a description, everything seems fairly logical,
But Sartre will separate the surface naturalism to show the underlying alienation beneath it.
Dinner really means: when your part of this planet is far away
About hydrogen explosion energy and distant helium,
Slide your knees under sliced tree
And put parts of dead animals and plants in your mouth and chew it,
Next to you, another mammal, sometimes touching its genitals, does the same thing.
2. We are free
Such strange moments are certainly confusing and somewhat frightening,
But Sartre wants to draw our attention to it for one main reason: because of its editorial dimensions.
Life is much stranger than we think, but it is also a full-blown outcome.
Things do not have to be exactly the same way they look.
During our full absorption of our freedom, we will collide with what Sartre calls
‘Pain’ of existence. Everything is possible (frighteningly)
Nothing has an estimated destiny or a gift from the Lord or a goal.
Only humans invent it in their lives,
They are free to untie the shackles at any moment.
3. We must not live in a “bad faith”
Sartre presented a term for the phenomenon of living without exploiting freedom properly.
He called it a bad faith.
We are in a bad faith whenever we say to ourselves that things must be in a certain way
We close our eyes to other options.
It is a bad faith to insist that we have to do a certain kind of work
Or live with a particular person or make our home in a particular place.
The most famous description of “bad faith” comes from existence and non-existence,
When Sartre noticed a waiter he seemed sincere to his role,
As if he were first and foremost a waiter instead of a free man.
His movement is fast and forward, very fine somewhat, very fast somehow.
Approaching customers is a fairly quick step.
Bend forward a little eagerly: his voice, his eyes express
His concern and concern about the client’s request … “
The guy (who is mostly someone like the Saint-Germaine-Café de Fleur) is convinced
Himself he is essentially, necessarily a waiter and not a free creature who can
Be a jazz pianist or hunter on a North Sea fishing vessel.
Four: We are free to dismantle capitalism.
One factor that most discourages people from
Suffering themselves for free is money. Most of us will close a group of possible
Options (moving abroad, trying to get out of a new career, leaving a partner) saying:
“This is if you do not have to worry about money.”
This negative in the face of Sartre’s anger at the political level. It was thought of
Capitalism as a giant machine is designed to create a sense of necessity that does not
In fact actually exist:
Makes us say to ourselves we have to work a certain number of hours, buy special
Product or service, and so on.
But in this, there is only deprivation of liberty – refused to take as seriously as
We should be able to live in other ways.
It was because of these views that Sartre had a long life interest in Marxism.
Marxism appeared theoretically to allow people to explore their freedom, by limiting the role they played
In their lives by material considerations.
Sartre took part in many street protests in Paris in the 60s. He was arrested again in
In 1968, President Charles de Gaulle was pardoned, saying:
“It was not Voltaire’s arrest.”
Sartre also visited Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and impressed them both deeply. as a result
From these contacts and his extreme policy, the FBI kept a big file on Sartre trying
To infer what his truly suspicious philosophy might mean.
Sartre is inspiring in his insistence that things do not have to be the way they are.
It was largely alive to our unfulfilled potential, as individuals and kind.
It urges us to accept the liquidity of existence
The establishment of new institutions, customs, views and ideas.
The recognition that life does have some inevitable logic rather than an inherent meaning
Can be a source of great comfort when we feel persecuted by the weight of tradition
And the current situation.
