"Man is condemned to be
free; because once thrown into
the world, he is responsible
for everything he does." Jean-
Paul Sartre believed that human
beings live in constant anguish, not
solely because life is miserable, but
because we are 'condemned to be
free’
Existentialists believe
that human nature is a
blank slate, so to speak.
This means that humans
don't have an inherent
nature that they behave in
accordance with.
Why do we live?
Philosophy of Existentialism
According to Jaspers…
philosophy does not need to justify itself on
the grounds of its being useful for some other
mode of activity.
