The concept of freedom according to Sartre

Abstract

The understanding of Sartrean freedom is quite easy. Sartre himself admits that human being is ?not free to cease being free' as he is drawn into a social and historical aspects. Nevertheless, taking these two points into consideration, Sartrean concept of freedom has some weaknesses. This conception remains indeed radical and emphasizes too much on the human mind, as the Stoics and Descartes did before. Eventually, Sartrean freedom destroys the idea of freedom.
