sartres sweaty nutsack

[ronald Macdonald]

can anyone tell me why sartre called his philosophy, existential philosophy. What does existential mean - not existentialism dont define that, define existential for me

[plastic bagism]

I've heard that Sartre rejected "ism's" because they placed his philosophy in a particular camp. He never embraced the term "existentialism" or called himself an existentialist. I'm not sure how simply "existential" would be a lot different, though.

[plastic bagism]

Bizarre title, by the way.

existentialism deals with the subjective experience of existing as a seperate entity interacting with the world.

I would enummerate a few points, but I feel just as lazy as you. So I'd say if you really want to know, you should get over your laziness and read...


But I suspect your thread has an ulterior motive...which is it? Pray, tell me.

existential: to rebel against conditions of existence. And he didn't call his philosophy existentialism, the label got applied to him by his successors, just like plastic bagism sid.
