Existentialism Paper
While Sartre discusses how freedom is at the center of our existence, we are still required to acknowledge and consider the consequences of these choices made in the name of freedom. How does this lead one to dance in between freedom and intersubjectivity throughout their lives? This requires one to explain what freedom and intersubjectivity are. It would also be helpful to discuss the following concepts (you are not required to discuss all of these though): subjectivity, authenticity, bad faith, good faith, despair, abandonment, anguish, existentialist humanism). Think of your audience as someone who is your age and cognitively capable of understanding this, but who has never read Sartre before. Here are the requirements: – 12 point font, times new roman, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, 2 full pages long – 3rd person narration (ex: “Sartre states…”, not “I believe”) – Respond to the above prompt in the form of a thesis statement (a main idea that your paper builds off of that you explain throughout the paper) – Integrate quotes from Existentialism is a Humanism into your analysis/explanation, then explain the quote in your own words (situate quote in paper, rather than merely place it in there) – Correctly cite the page number of the quote “……………………”(32) in MLA format. – Explain concepts with philosophical baggage – DO NOT USE SECONDARY SOURCES (WIKIPEDIA, SPARKNOTES, ETC.) – only use your brilliant minds and the reading itself
