Tuesday: (CR 25-40)
Why does Sartre say there are "no excuses"? Why does he say we are "condemned" to be free?
In his example of a young man trying to decide between going off to war or staying with his mother, why does Sartre say that the man cannot rely on his feelings (his love for his mother) to decide or justify his actions?
Is it true that there are no “born cowards” or “born heroes”?
Sartre says that we cannot be anything "unless others recognize it as such." Why? Is this true?
Thursday: (CR 40-59, including "Freedom and Responsibility")
How can he answer the criticism that if existentialism is correct, then "you're able to do anything, no matter what"? What about the criticism that existentialists are "unable to pass judgment on others"?
What does Sartre mean when he says there are no accidents in life? Is it true that anyone who’s in a war has “chosen” it?
In what sense do I choose to be born?
