This week’s reading, “Existentialism and Human Emotion,” examined Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist outlook on ethics. Sartre (1905-1980) was a French philosopher who stressed the significance of human freedom and questioned the role of external theories and causes in determining ethical decisions. In your Discussion Post for this week, make sure you do the following 3 things:

• Describe Sartre’s conception of existentialist freedom
• Explain how the story of the undecided young man illustrates Sartre’s views
• Critically assess Sartre’s account of human freedom by giving a contemporary example that either confirms or challenges his views.

This week we continue to build on our Critical Essays due in Week 7. In this assignment, you will create a thesis statement.

An excellent thesis statement is specific and informative and insightful. It tells your reader precisely what you are going to argue in your paper and why. It doesn’t just promise an examination. Please avoid backing into your thesis by way of a question too. Put your thesis forward in declarative terms.

Please include your list of references (in APA format) noting any revisions in light of feedback provided Week 2. Remember, your references need to be primary references which refers to the works of people who take a stand for and against the issue you’ll consider. This rules out encyclopedias (even specialized encyclopedias) that just give us a synopsis of what the primary source has to say.

The paper

must be exactly one full page, with 1/3 of the paper devoted to summary of
