I need to write a paper about Jean Paul Sartre, or possibly exestentialism, any ideas?

Kinda vague however...





You could talk about how belief of existentialism has evolved over the centuries or what the implications of existentialism are for religion.|||Type into a search Jean-Paul Sartre's The Wall and you'll find his short story from 1939, `The Wall' - it's a short read but it's a very powerful piece. In `The Wall' you will find everything stated succinctly which it takes him volumes to say elsewhere (especially in Being and Nothingness). The core belief of Existentialism, as Sartre saw it, was that we are alone in an absurd universe and that death is the only certainty. After you've read `The Wall' I think you'll see how the story illuminates these ideas quite clearly. You can write an entire paper on that one story alone. All the best to you........|||Sartre is just water downed Heidegger. Read him and let Sartre fade into the historical nothingness that awaits him.
