J. P. Sartre believes that man is free to choose and whatever choice he makes, he must be responsible for the outcome.

The subjective plays an important role in the social sciences as it is often ultimately what the researcher seeks to uncover and understand—how the social world is experienced, understood, and produced.

A bad subjective term is ‘opinion’ or ‘judgment’ because those terms exclude emotion. In the sense that subjectivity concerns these things, subjectivity is bad, and thus there is a bad form of subjectivity, and hence there are bad subjective terms, and hence ‘bad’ might be a subjective term.

Sartre was never recognized as a Marxist by his contemporaries. He not only failed to show any inter- est in the question of economic exploitation, but most of the answers he gave in the Critique even contradicted Marxist theory.

Jean-Paul Sartre was a French novelist, playwright, and philosopher. A leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy, he was an exponent of a philosophy of existence known as existentialism. His most notable works included Nausea (1938), Being and Nothingness (1943), and Existentialism and Humanism (1946).

Dominant strains of modernity are present in Being and Nothingness in the influences of Descartes and Husserl, the cogito tradition, but Sartre manages to turn them in a postmodern direction with his notion of neant (difference).

Jean Paul Sartre: Existentialism. The philosophical career of Jean Paul Sartre (1905-1980) focuses, in its first phase, upon the construction of a philosophy of existence known as existentialism.

Nietzsche did not claim himself as a nihilist nor an existentialist. But his stream of thought can be simplified in this manner: As a nihilist: Every concept of “good and bad”, “God” and “morality” is nothing more than a social construction, the program made by the strong.

Existentialism states that our lives have no inherent meaning or purpose, but rather it is the purpose we create for our lives that gives them a sense of meaning. Once we accept this as a fact, we can live our lives freely, doing what we enjoy, so far as our society allows us.

a. Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) as an Existentialist Philosopher. Kierkegaard was many things: philosopher, religious writer, satirist, psychologist, journalist, literary critic and generally considered the ‘father’ of existentialism.

Phenomenology is a study of how phenomena affects us from a first person view. affect our conscious view. Existentialism is the study of philosophy from the view point of being a living feeling human. It places emphasis on human beings being the origin of all philosophical thought.

In the study, I established that postmodernism and phenomenology bear similar ontological marking, which base their concepts and methodologies on an individualistic framework.

Phenomenology is further concerned with our distorted understanding of the world. For example in Husserl, in particular, there is a sense of that we could reach genuine insight about the world if we could strip back our preconceptions and see the world as it really was.
