Question

Existentialism to describe his own philosophy. In response to Heidegger’s Being and Time, Sartre argued in his Being and Nothingness that the basic condition of humanity is anxiety in the face of the unknown, and that much of the time we avoid this deeper state by seeking what we like and avoiding what we hate. In the process, we become ignorant of ourselves, of the world, and of our relationships with our fellow human beings. Please explain the main concept and give some examples.

Answer 1

Heidegger defined the concept of "Being and Time" as it explains the existence, thinking, anxiety and recognition of the relationships with the other persons in the society. He believes in the existence of self with the recognition of purpose, event and importance of the existence of a person in the society along with the relationships in society. He realized the importance of the potential of self in defining and analyzing the perception developed around the people and the ability or stength of people to realize the importance of self analysis of a person in society. The view about the strength and intensity of the questioning of the people towards a philosopher who has understood the importance of self realization in society.

Sartre believed in the theory of "Being and Nothingness" in society implies the importance that the existence and survival of a person is sufficient to declare his life and job rather than realization of the essence and importance of one's life. The existence is defined by the deeds of the person which decides the type of existence of a person rather than the declaration of life by virtue, nature and culture. These factors are not important in deciding existence except the idea of survival in society which decides the work and deed of the person necessary for survival.
