Core Principles and Philosophical Responsibility

In this concise text, Sartre addresses major misconceptions surrounding his philosophy, famously declaring that “existence precedes essence.” He argues that human beings are not defined by any pre-existing purpose, nature, or divine design; instead, we must define ourselves through our own actions, choices, and commitments. This radical freedom, however, comes with profound responsibility, leading to what Sartre terms anguish, abandonment, and despair. This makes Existentialism and Humanism a key text for students, academics, and philosophy enthusiasts seeking to understand existential responsibility.
