A review by loving
Existentialism Is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre
3.75
“Man is nothing other than his own project. He exists only to the extent that he realizes himself, therefore he is nothing more than the sum of his actions, nothing more than his life (…) for existentialists there is no love other than the deeds of love; no potential for love other than that which is manifested in loving. There is no genius other than that which is expressed”
I’ll reread this in the future. I enjoyed the lecture itself (responsibility, choice, essence and the human condition); but the discussion on Marxism between Sartre and the audience members was lost on me, I assume because of my lack of political and historical knowledge.
