Ethics and Philosophical Ethics

ETHICS TEST CONTENTS

Jean Paul Sartre, "Existentialist Ethics"

1. __________Both Christian and atheistic existentialists think that the fact of man's existence is established first and then man determines what his essence is to be.

 

2. __________Sartre believes all persons have at least one thing in common and this is human nature.

 

3. __________Not only is man fully responsible for himself, according to Sartre, but he is responsible for all men.


4. __________Sartre believes that all persons anguish over life's decisions and that those who do not are hiding their anguish.

 

5. __________According to Sartre, we cannot commit ourselves to any particular belief or religion.


6. __________Anguish means that we are responsible for all men, and no experiences in life can convince us what is the right thing to do.


7. ___________The atheistic existentialist experiences forlornness: facing the consequences of the fact that God does not exist.

 

8. __________Sartre believes a person is wholly free except when a sweeping emotion leads that person to act.


9. __________Since there are no absolute ethics, Sartre believes you are condemned to be free.

 

10. ___________Sartre believes "You should conquer yourself" rather than try to conquer the situation you are in because you cannot really know the consequences of your actions.
