What initially attracted me to Jean-Paul Sartre were his ideas about freedom and choice. Over the year we have read about many different philosophies, but until recently most of them included some sort of God or force that cannot be proven. Since I don't believe in any God, it was difficult to choose which points I agreed with, because most of the time the philosophies were rooted in God or used God as a given. As an atheist, Jean-Paul Sartre seemed worthy of attention. Although there are other atheist philosophers, Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy seems to have few or almost no flaws. His ideas about freedom, responsibility, and defining ourselves seemed to be either exactly what I thought or an extrapolation of them. These ideas have helped me better understand my actions as well as those of others. Additionally, they encouraged me to pursue my passions. I. “Life has no meaning a priori. Life itself is nothing until it is lived, it is we who give it meaning, and value is nothing other than the meaning we give it” (Satre 51 ). In this statement, Jean-Paul Sartre takes stock of a certain number of things. . It talks about freedom and choice, but also emphasizes that we have the power to create ourselves because our actions define us and we freely choose our actions. In January of this year, I was trying to understand why I shouldn't be angry or upset about people who follow a religion. It seemed that people were wasting their lives because they were devoting it to a non-existent being and believing lies. However, it gets me thinking about what is really a waste of time and what isn't. A number of philosophers will say that it is better to do one thing than another. I always thought that being educated was better than not being in the middle of paper......our dreams and elsewhere, but you can't know what's in it or control what's there. I believe you have no control over your actions. However, what Sartre is trying to get across about the unconscious is that you cannot use your “unconscious” as an excuse. I think it's an excuse, but nevertheless you are responsible for your actions because of it. I don't agree with him on the existence of the unconscious, but I agree that you are always responsible for your actions, whether they come from your unconscious or not. Jean-Paul Sartre allowed me to understand my actions as well as those of others and to realize to what extent my life is indeterminate. What first attracted him was his idea of ​​the meaning of life. It resonated with me and my beliefs. Since reading his works, I have gained a better understanding of the direction I am taking my future and the possibilities it offers..
