In the essay “Existentialism,” Sartre responds to three possible objections raised against existentialism:
- That existentialists are anarchists, or “You’re able to do anything, no matter what” (pg. 41).
- That existentialist are “unable to pass judgment on others, because there’s no reason to prefer one configuration to another” (pg. 40).
- That “Everything is arbitrary in this choosing of yours” (pg. 40-41), or “values aren’t serious, since you choose them” (pg. 48)
- Discuss one of these objections. On what basis would someone say this about Sartre’s theory of existentialism? (Discussion of objection raised against existentialism)
- How does Sartre counter the objection (or, why does Sartre not consider it to be a damaging objection)? On what basis does Sartre continue to argue for existentialism despite the objection raised? (Discussion of Sartre’s response to the objection)
- Is Sartre successful in countering the objection? Is it an objection that renders existentialism false or dangerous as a philosophical theory? (Critical discussion of Sartre’s response)
