    Excellent summarization of J P!
    I have always liked Camus better for a number of reasons.
    It strikes me that Sartre's devaluation of the imagination and the social roles we invent was one of the main reasons he was not a "novelist."
    By which I mean a writer like Balzac or De Maupassant, who employed the social roles Sartre disparaged to create fiction.
    I suspect the intent of Nausea and The Wall is to demonstrate a philosophical position, not create a fictional universe.

    Well presented video on Sartre's ideas.
    But to me, Sartre just presents Opinion. Sartre just shouts "there IS no subconscious, there IS no repressed memories". So Sartre yells "Freud is wrong, Jung is wrong, and I'm not wrong".
    Sartre offers no proof, just says how silly the other thinkers are.
    But Sartre never puts his own ideas to the same test. If making ad hominem attacks is acceptable, then I'll do it to Sartre. "Bad Faith" is merely regurgitated Christian Original Sin and "Good Faith" is being Born Again.
    Sartre is just theology without a God.

    6:32 Not to be pedantic, but this is philosophy, so I'm sure you'll forgive me.
    That is not how a planet forms. Planets form by aggregation, not reduction and if the analogy is to hold true, we must ask,
    "Do we form by aggregation or reduction?" To become our true self, do we seek out and add all the we are or do we remove all we are not?

    Gotta read Sartre one day although I disagree with him about the unconscious part. When people are in a blind rage their unconscious sometimes gets projected onto other people and then when they come back they’ll be like I don’t even remember being like that or doing that 😅, but just like his, it’s just my opinion

    0:50 minutes in and, God will be questioned again. Teachers say read books but i don't want to questions that God is present but maybe i will continue to watch it better to know your enemy than just blindly hate and fight. Also for me it's as simple as this nothing just came into existence someone has to make it in the first place. And we have free will so this can give you a lot of answers.

    Being and Nothingness is basically simple concepts overwrought by unnecessary obscurification and word play. Don’t expect enlightenment by reading it. Expect you are being punished for majoring in Philosophy or worse; you’ve made a conscious effort to over-intellectualize yourself in spite of the fact the title of the book clearly states what it’s actually about.

      That seems a little harsh. He was writing about the (lack of) purpose in our actions surely, rather than trying to work out what personal factors may impact the decisions we take in such actions? Our biology doesn't limit our freedom to choose? Surely, it just impacts the probability of what we will choose?

    • @Fiction_Beast
      @Fiction_Beast  Před rokem

      I guess for the most of human history biological purpose (procreation) has been the main someone’s life goal. Sartre didn’t want to have kids so he replaced biological purpose with a political purpose of creating a just society.

    You got the essence of Sartre's philosophy wrong, bro, especially in the beginning. We are not like a flower, we never achieve essence. Existence precedes essence - you need a better grasp of that. Hint: it's not related to birth!
