“Nothing looked real. I felt surrounded by cardboard scenery which could suddenly be removed. The world was waiting, holding its breath, making itself small - it was waiting for its attack, its Nausea”. - That´s deep.

Very well done, sir! I think probably one of the best Sartre summaries I've ever watched. Your key points and build-up, your pics, narration and music, excellent work. New subscriber! Thank you🙂
8:45 Man is condemned to be free. I came across these lines few days back. This is liberating as well as harrowing. PS: I love the introduction part where faces of great ones is juxtaposed beautifully and the bgm accentuates the feel.
I didn't start reading seriously until my junior year in college. This meant that I have heard a lot of words in the past but I didn't really see those words written down on paper before. A lot of the words in more challenging books were very unusual for me. But, I would sound them all out and try to fit them into a sentence, like ones I would have previously heard. Awesome video man, I passed it at the 5:29 mark to write this comment, going to continue on with the video now!
That's interesting!! There are times where we do experience that unusual absurd feeling of reading or just looking at something stripping it off all human meaning and observing at it nakedly, which seems bizarre. I appreciate your comment Sean and you watching the video, it means a lot!!
What an amazing video! I wonder how much time it took to sum up the philosophy of Sartre in such a beautiful way! Amazing ✨ From the absurdity of life to the beautiful quotation 'Life is your own work of art', every word of this video is so full of meaning! This video is a work of art, thank you so much! 🫠
It's incredible how the concept of Bad Faith is something that probably millions of people do or have done in their lives, especially in the western world.
I studied French Lit and I have read Camus and Sartre. The Roads to Freedom trilogy and Nausea are both essential reading. I haven't got into his philosophical works, but as a novelist, I think he is very good, not expounding philosophy in a novel, but really doing the work of a good fiction writer with characterisation and dialogue.
I think this is a decent explanation of some difficult concepts. I’m no philosopher and I always struggle with philosophical ideas as complex as these. I hold Sartre in very high esteem, not least because he developed the ideas within a very modern world. One aspect that I would have liked some discussion of is his support for socialism/communism. Existentialism is such a personal philosophical experience and yet Sartre’s political action was dedicated to communal beliefs, to societal actions. Many existentialists are pretty right wing (eg Iris Murdoch), and feel Sartre lost his way in politics. Can you explain this area of his thinking, at all? I know a little of how he came to that thinking, but would like to understand it better than I do. Can you cast any light on this, or indicate where it might best be sought? Your thinking is so clear here, so I’d love to read/hear what you have to say in elucidating this. Thank you.
I think your account of bad faith isn't very accurate to what Sartre meant in Existentialism is a Humanism. The waiter doesn't just continue to be a waiter because he doesn't want to look for another job, he does it because he doesn't want to take the responsibility of being a subject that can't be defined. He doesn't want to have to create his personality and rather falls into being an object-that is a waiter-that can be easily defined and comes with clear expectations and responsibilities. The waiter lets everyone else define him as something else than a free individual.
Im binge watching this series, and its very interesting., But I cant help but wonder why these better known philosophers have such a depressing outlook on..well..everything. lol Is a deep pessimism a prerequisite for philosophy?
"Seek Natures Beauty" Beauty of nature is on full display An those who seek it win the day Natures wonder behold everyday Beauty of nature to be seen today An natures beauty has a lot to say
I have bathroom books that I read for fun ('Worlds Worst Aircraft', 'The Past of Pastimes', 'The Order of Things') and then there are some of my favorite authors or ones I felt I should read. Four Christopher Hitchens books, one Richard Dawkins book, 'The Republic' by Plato, Fahrenheit 451.....and this book I found found for free. Seemed interesting but I didn't know the author as I'm uneducated, to be frank about it. It's called "The Psychology of Imagination" by Jean-Paul Sartre. .....I just started it and it's a very good read!
I had an insight about the envious eye that people often gaze with onto other without actually taking into account of the small aspect the envy eye sees and that to be envious of whatever it may be comes with its own kind of hell attached underneath the skin we all have a hell within in. But to hear that hell is other people i sorta understand this deeply and it is mind blowing a real how is this possible moment cause ive never read anything really just music so maybe something from a song provoking this in my mind I really don’t know how to explain it anymore
I don’t understand how Sartre could honestly assert that “these limiting things (circumstances) that we do not have control over do not limit our freedom.” Absolute freedom would have no limitations. Limitations prove the lack of freedom.
Essentialism only works if you feel the need to categorise, in order to feel comfortable. Were one to remain content with things being undefined, as they ultimately are, (as in, 'not separate'), then all that would remain would be to find a way to function in that state, and enjoy the flux.
Great Video as always. Does somebody know the name of the painting 6:24 Its on the cover of my (german) version of demons dostoevsky, but I never knew the name.

When I first read his line “Man wants to be God” in Being and Nothingness, I was blown away. Humans are bound to seek the meaning-filled existence that doesn’t have or require a reason for being (“the In-itself”), thereby being utterly content with themselves. Just like the soil wouldn’t ponder a philosophical reason for why it exists. It lacks consciousness. It just exists, contently. Humans, by virtue of having consciousness, are in terrible fate. We are born to be aware of why possibly we exist and what in hell we’re living towards, which obviously doesn’t have an answer (unless a god gives you one). So we’re lost in our doomed empty search, which we had no choice before birth but to join. And the only ways out are either a leap of faith into a god that gives you an arbitrary answer or to become one yourself. Men want to be God. How pithy.
I find sartre's notion of 'authentic being' in constrast to 'bad faith' rather unjustified. First of all, the idea of a 'being' being 'authentic' goes against the notion that existence proceeds essence. Sartre defines the self as 'we are what we are not' (process of negation, nothingness, transcendance of the conscious from the corporeal realities) and as 'we are not what we are' (bad faith, the 'being for others' as a constitutive element of ones conscious). These contradictory definitions, a succint explanation of Sartre's explanation of the self, discards any notion of grading the 'authenticity' of the self. Also, Sarte gives no realistic path of actualizing our 'authentic' self as he even describes the non reflective consciousness as a faculty that transposes the causality of the action it prompts as an end in of itself (a jealous act being defined as not by the relation between the agents action and the agents objective but by the particular act being preconditioned by the self which has become 'Jealousy' through the pre-reflective consciousness -remember, he doesnt distinguish between pre- reflective consciousness, reflective consciousness, and being for other as being separate from the 'self'.) Since bad faith can be determined as being caused by the being in itself (pre-reflective consciousness) overpowering the reflective attributes of being for itself (reflective consciousness) that would otherwise make the self aware of its potentialities, how is one who lives in bad faith lives a life of inauthenticitiy in comparison to someone who's cognizant of their potentiality. What Sartre did is just to explain the state of existence, he didnt establish a working philosophy where one can build towards and live as an 'authentic being'. Since the 'self' can never be understood by us through determinate terms, how can we hope to understand what an 'authentic' self even is if we dont hold a working premise. Since Sartre's whole philosophy is developed by the process of negation and defining the conscious through nothingness (the conscious is defined by what it is not - defining the conscious precludes any attempts of determining its essence) there is no primary principle as to what the self is in determinant, essential, definition. How can one construct a method of cultivating an 'authentic' self then. Also, I feel that his characterization that free will causes a never satiated angst to be not grounded. One 'self' is not constantly in an 'being for itself' mode where existential dread is doomed to be a constant for humans. The fact that the self is determined by its potentialities, not through concrete fixated definition that would be built under the assumption that essence proceeds existence, why is this angst, this dread is positioned as a constant for the self to deal with when the self is characterized as in constant flux. If anything, bad faith is an appropriate way of sublimating the angst that follows free will and acts as an appropriate engine to actualize one of our potentialities. Since the self is defined by potentialities and a being in flux (not a concrete, definable, entity), our constitution of a self being actualized by existence and free will should be more than apt to face the burden of carrying this so called angst as we are beings that naturally pursues a life of potentialities (we are never simply a fixated essence) without any rational basis for doing so. The fact that humans are wired to live a life of free will that constantly constructs and forgoes definitions of itself with no rational impetus means that our beings as existing in flux rather than concrete essence would not be 'condemned' by this 'dread', this 'angst'. In fact, these terminology are fallaciously applied as it assumes that an entity defined by its essence, by definition constructed through positive attributions, is being subjected to a constant condition contrary to the constitution of its being. Concepts such as 'dread', 'angst', 'sickness', underlies a concrete phenomenon. One that is illogically applied to an entity such as a 'self' that is defined through existence and it defined through negation. A concept derived through a priori prescients cannot be diagnosed with symptoms that would hold the subject as a being of 'essence'.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and the current French health and education ministers Bernard Kouchner and Jack Lang were among the signatories of petitions in the 1970s calling for paedophilia to be decriminalised, it emerged yesterday.
@@pbgaming3631 Yeah watching the Nausea video will reading help to get familiar with what's his talking about, since the philosophical concepts are implicit in the novel (freedom, responsibility, contingency, bad faith...). But if you do not want spoilers, do not watch the conclusion of the video 8:39-10:00
As far as I'm concerned, JPS had it all figured out or at least gained some kind of satisfaction in not figuring it out. I would probably be an existentialist if I could truly understand what it means. I know for certain I exist way outside current societal norms and that gives me hope for some unknown reason.
Is the eyes thing basically talking about how the displeasure from societal Dissatisfaction with "me" creates anxiety, and changes my mental state to be isolated? How wad this man a marxist again?
The poetic words in the final pages of Nausea were so beautiful, as well as surreal as I was reading them in a Jazz café. He was a a linguistic acrobat..kind of like the Eminem of his time.
Sounds like some of the existentialist should’ve just experience the joy of being craftsman i.e. making tables, chairs, building houses, creating things other than ideas. Don’t get me wrong, I live in this pointless world, too, but toil takes the edge off.
I love ur channel, but man I'm not a fan of sarte lol. I do like his view of God and that he fits in with nietzsche as far as the way to win is to progress aka discovering ur essence. But I'm not a fan of the idea of essence tbh. Can someone explain it to me? I can maybe get behind it if everyone has their own essences based on their brains individually defined patterns. I also don't know if we find our own essence. I feel as though we are born with an essence but using logic we try and change it.
Camus was the better man. He had the moral courage to denounce Stalin while Sartre, who knew the truth about Stalin’s crimes, refused to do so because he didn’t want to discourage the French Communists.

Your video helped be understand more clearly what was offered me in college 💝thank you 🌻
Your videos are wow, mind blowing..., thank you 👍
This is definitely one of the most accurate accounts of Sartre's philosophy I've ever come across UA-cam. Well done
“Nothing looked real. I felt surrounded by cardboard scenery which could suddenly be removed. The world was waiting, holding its breath, making itself small - it was waiting for its attack, its Nausea”. - That´s deep.
That’s what I felt the world is like for a long time
that's bullshit
He lifted the veil of the matrix
The nothing of Buddhism
Nonsense. Silliness. Sartre eventually matured into a Marxist and abandoned his adolescent existentialism.
Just recently read Nausea. Happy to see Sartre's philosophy being covered here! It's very well done.
And by "philosophy" you mean abject NESCIENCE. :p

Read him in college..still fascinated by his thoughts on Being./ .. Nothingness..
Still fascinated. Trying to break it down..fully understand.
John Paul Sartre does not belong in the category "Greatest Philosophers in History". His best ideas were stolen from his lover.

Few lived a more bourgeois life than Jean Paul Sartre who (he said, wink, wink) wished to destroy the bourgeoisie.
The poetic words in the final pages of Nausea were so beautiful, as well as surreal as I was reading them in a Jazz café. He was a a linguistic acrobat..kind of like the Eminem of his time.
Sounds like some of the existentialist should’ve just experience the joy of being craftsman i.e. making tables, chairs, building houses, creating things other than ideas. Don’t get me wrong, I live in this pointless world, too, but toil takes the edge off.
It happens??
Uhh, maybe don’t misspell Philosophers! It makes people doubt the quality of the content to follow.
Coming from a layperson, thank you for the enlightenment,
I love ur channel, but man I'm not a fan of sarte lol. I do like his view of God and that he fits in with nietzsche as far as the way to win is to progress aka discovering ur essence. But I'm not a fan of the idea of essence tbh. Can someone explain it to me? I can maybe get behind it if everyone has their own essences based on their brains individually defined patterns. I also don't know if we find our own essence. I feel as though we are born with an essence but using logic we try and change it.
Yep, existentialist who believe in absolute freedom aren't materialists. It's bizarre that Sarte was a communist.
@@noah5291 why is that bizarre? Because communism is opposed to absolute freedom?
I'll take Camus over JPS every time. He lived it. JPS talked about living it.
Camus was the better man. He had the moral courage to denounce Stalin while Sartre, who knew the truth about Stalin’s crimes, refused to do so because he didn’t want to discourage the French Communists.
