Purpose and content of
For Sartre, when we speak of the distress or anxiety, we have reason. The man is absolutely free because it was not created for any purpose, either by God or by evolution, or any other thing. Simply we are there, and we have to decide what to do with ourselves. Sartre maintains that the atheistic existentialism is consistent, stating that if God does not exist there is at least one being in whom existence precedes essence, a being there before they can be defined: the man. The man begins to exist, arises in the world and then define. Start by being nothing, and will only be after as has been done. Thus, there is nature, because there is no God to conceive it, so there is absolutely libre.Esta man for Sastre freedom is so radical that denies any kind of determinism, whether theological, biological or social. Neither God has created us with an inevitable destination, or the nature or society determine our possibilities. We are what we wanted to be, and we can always stop what we are, so that the ends we seek not given to us for anything or anyone, is our freedom that the elige.Con this, Sartre is to oppose the so-called secular morality, which seems to get rid of God, with the lowest possible cost, ie the existence of God would be a useless hypothesis, but that secular morality if we would argue that there is a moral, or a world society should secure affirm the existence of objective values. By contrast, Sastre maintains that there are no values as realities independent of our will, because only by choosing values rather than others, it gives them the will realidad.En ultimately atheistic existentialism Sastre takes as a starting point Dostoevsky's phrase, "If God did not exist, everything would be permitted." Now, everything is permitted and, therefore, man is abandonado.El man is totally and absolutely free, we are free not to be free, we are condemned to be free. The freedom of man is not to choose their being, but his personality and, faced with bad faith (excuses, lying to himself), Sartre suggests the authenticity of accepting the fact of absolute freedom, resulting anxiety and responsibility it entails, and the awareness of knowing that our actions are not determined by anything outside or inside of ourselves, but we look at other men.
