AN ETHICAL INQUIRY ON SARTRE’S CONCEPT OF FREEDOM

Abstract

This paper makes an effort to critically explain Jean-Paul Sartre's view of freedom. It also attempts to clarify the moral implications of Sartre's notion of freedom. The essential idea of human freedom serves as the foundation of Jean Paul Sartre's existentialism, which he renders distinctive. Sartre starts his discussion of existentialism by describing reality from a phenomenological perspective. This type of study emphasizes the importance of human consciousness in terms of decision-making and freedom. In Sartre's existentialism, a feeling of consciousness also precedes freedom and self-determination in terms of a person's ability to make moral decisions. This essay investigates the significance of Sartre's conception of freedom and its implications for the field of moral judgment. To do this, the paper uses the analytical technique to assess some of the contentious points made in Sartre's proposal about the ideas of responsibility, freedom, and choice.
