Sartre: Existentialism and the Anguish of Freedom

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they are looking at Sartre’s Existentialism and the anguish of freedom.

The core principle of Existentialism is that existence precedes essence, unlike Essentialism, Existentialism believes that we do not have an innate essence that makes us who we are, we exist first and then we develop our essence based on the choices we make as free conscious agents. This is what Sartre referred to as the anguish of freedom.

Watch the explanation of why Sartre saw freedom as a source of anguish and anxiety, and listen to the debate on whether Existentialism as a whole is a valid Philosophical approach to life.
