Jean-Paul Sartre and Existential Choice
Jump to Connections
672,363 Views ā€¢ Apr 17, 2015 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
From the BBC Radio 4 series about life's big questions - www.bbc.co.uk/historyofideas

The existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre thought that human beings live in anguish. Not because life is terrible. But rather because, weā€™re ā€˜condemned to be freeā€™. We're ā€˜thrownā€™ into existence, become aware of ourselves, and have to make choices. Even deciding not to choose is a choice. According to Sartre, every choice reveals what we think a human being should be.

Narrated by Stephen Fry. Scripted by Nigel Warburton.

This project is from the BBC in partnership with The Open University, the animations were created by Cognitive.

I wish every idea could be explained to me this way: Illustrating Info graph, narration, cool Jazz. I guess Iā€™ve turned myself into a video learner. Thereā€™s no escape.

"I have to art as if everyone is watching me, and there is no escape." -- even more true in the age of internet.

I remember when I first experienced the realization that not choosing is a choice....I was 9 years old and had never hear of Sartre. It did turn my brains into a knot at first, Iā€™ll tell you!

Alot of existentialism feels like buddhism, ie it's all about perspective. And it's true, if you actually believe you can be a different person than who you are today, this label, your name, will fade and make way for another one. It is only the amount of effort you put in it that will decide how fruitful your success will be and often that's hard to say the least. Besides, life's quite amusing from an existentialist's pov, far more relaxing than being hopelessly romantic
