Jean-Paul Sartre, "Existentialism is a Human" Existentialism is a Humanism. He discusses the relationship between the individual and the collective (how to know the self, how others know you/how you know others, social responsibility). He believes, “we are condemned to be free”, and believes that we are responsible for ourselves and for everyone else. Some of his concepts include: ”being for-itself”: transcendence; fluid, dynamic, spontaneous, non-self-identitcal, making of being in the process of becoming/going beyond what is; ”being in-itself”: facticity, like table/stone; unconscious/passive/self-identical.
Include concepts of facticity (the quality of condition of being fact), transcendence (existence of experience beyond the normal physical level), for-itself, in-itself.
Categorical Imperative and existentialism as humanism: if you would be okay with anyone making certain decisions then it is okay. If you would not be okay with someone doing something, then it must not be done.
