| Sartre's Thoughts On Morality
Human freedom is always oriented
towards some goal that is at least implicitly practical. "This absolute end, this
imperative which is transcendent yet acquiesced in, which freedom itself adopts as its
own, is what we call a value." Sartre says, "man has to be considered as the
being through which the Good comes into the world"; yet he says that the Good is
universal. Therefore, the morals of the world are universal, but the people in the world
decide what is right and wrong. "Man us the source of all good and all evil and
judges himself in the name of the good and evil he creates. Therefore a priori neither
good nor evil." |
