Sartrean Philosophy

® Company, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL - Do Not Distribute

-In-Itself vs. For-Itself

-Emotions as adaptive response, not inner state. Fuels the For-Itself

-Bad Faith: state is not inherent

-"That's just the way I am."

-Self-Deception vs. Transcendence of situation

-Passivity vs. Action

Sartre's conclusion of Existence: Humans harmonize the two mutually exclusive concepts of In-self and For-Itself by choosing our state within the bounds of our inherent situation.
