THE HUMANISM OF EXISTENTIALISM
After more than a half century since its appearance, we are rather inclined to look at the essay as an extremely interesting and provocative statement of Sartre's philosophy. Despite all its shortcomings it still remains the best short exposition of the main existentialist topics. |

Although many nineteenth century philosophers developed the concepts of existentialism, it was the French writer Jean Paul Sartre who popularized it.

General Definition |
EXISTENCE PRECEDES ESSENCE. "Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence." This means that what we do, how we act in our life, determines our apparent "qualities." It is not that someone tells the truth because she is honest, but rather she defines herself as honest by telling the truth again and again..

Introduction |
Sartre was a writer and existentialist following World War II. At the heart of his philosophy is a deep yearning for freedom and a concomitant sense of responsibility. While one is never free of their situation, Sartre felt, "in the end one is always responsible for what is made of one." |

|
Existentialism is a Humanism |
Contrasts with Heidegger, Kierkegaard:
no romantic revelation of Being,
less emphasis on being-towards-death, more on problem of living a life under existential conditions.
Like Kirkegaard, focus is on personal action.
Disagrees with K's "leap of faith" as solution to existential problem |
