Please explain this quote: "I want to be in the way that a tree is a tree" (Jean Paul Sartre)?

he wants to grow and flourish as a tree does independently but in the sense that the trees roots are deeply planted, giving stablity|||A tree does not invite the birds although they perch upon him, nor does the tree miss the birds after they have flown away.|||Some people think a tree is free, because it gets the wind and the sun,


but, it's roots are planted in the ground. %26lt;}:-})|||He wants to be just himself, without adornment, without pretense, without an imaginary picture of himself.|||Translation: this is some kick-butt weed.

Who would win in an arm wrestle? Jean Paul Sartre or Simone De Beauvoir?

Jean Paul Sartre would win but he'd be haunted by the look from Simone De Beauvoir and the fear that she had been complicit in his victory and had let him win.|||The winner would be the one who chose to win, and the loser ... well, they asked for it!|||jean paul. he has the same first name as jean reno, and everybody knows what a tough guy he is! jean is french for john, which of course is john wayne's first name. john is a great tough-guy name - everybody knows that.





:)|||fat bottom arkroyed.|||Simone, she'd catch Jean-Paul off guard for sure.|||sartre- he was a dom|||Neither, as I believe they are both dead. What would win in a celestial arm wrestle is their sparkling Existentialism. Sent with an eclectic smile from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. (I am 63 years old and had a couple of books to read by Sartre in prep school which I enjoyed immensely. One was "No Exit." Please have a good evening, now.)|||They are both non-existent/dead, so they cannot arm wrestle.


I assume they are both experiencing the hell that is other people in the afterlife.|||Simone de Beauvoir could whip Jean Paul Sartre any day of the week.|||well that's easy......Simone De Beauvoir.|||Simone - that was one tough femme.|||obviously jean paul sartre because hes the man|||Fatty Arbuckle|||Neither they would be friends.|||I believe that did arm-wrestle once. Even though neither saw the point in it. In a feat of intellectual serendipity, de Beauvoir realised that it would be absurd to prove her essence by the mere existence of her strength. Therefore, while Sartre was bulging his biceps, she swiftly exchanged existential identity with Nietzsche, who mauled Sartre, threw a table on him and walked away with de Beauvoir on his arm.|||pourquoi veux-tu qu'ils se battent ? ils 茅taient amis !!!|||Tricky question- If Simon de Beauvior won it wouldn't matter because John Paul Sartre would have THOUGHT that he'd won.


Does that make it a draw?

Jean paul sartre and art?

what was sartre's philosophical view on art? it was different from plato's right? so do you think i can write a comparative essay about that..? hhe|||I would go with his analysis of objects . . . art would be likely considered another object of consciousness, no different from any other. In Nausea, he makes a point of showing how external objects have a way of impressing themselves in a consciousness and I am assuming he would regard art in a like manner. it may be useful to contrast this with Heidegger's views of art and authentic vs. inauthentic ("nausea" as Sartre has it) existence.

Is jean paul sartre a comoniste or not?

No, he was an existentialist.|||Saeed:





It is possible to be both an existentialist and a communist. In Sartre's case, although he had no particular affinity for the French Communist party and never officially joined it, he was a political activist who embraced the principles of communism (specifically Marxism).

What was the philosophy of jean paul sartre?

Sartre's philosophy is concerned entirely with the nature of human life, and the structures of consciousness. As a result it gains expression in his novels and plays as well as in more orthodox academic treatises. Its immediate ancestor is the phenomenological tradition of his teachers, and Sartre can most simply be seen as concerned to rebut the charge of idealism as it is laid at the door of phenomenology. The agent is not a spectator of the world, but, like everything in the world, constituted by acts of intentionality and consciousness. The self thus constituted is historically situated, but as an agent whose own mode of locating itself in the world makes for responsibility and emotion. Responsibility is, however, a burden that we frequently cannot bear, and bad faith arises when we deny our own authorship of our actions, seeing them instead as forced responses to situations not of our own making. Sartre thus locates the essential nature of human existence in the capacity for choice, although choice, being equally incompatible with determinism and with the existence of a Kantian moral law, implies a synthesis of consciousness (being for-itself) and the objective (being in-itself) that is forever unstable. The unstable and constantly disintegrating nature of free will generates anguish. Sartre's 鈥榦ntological鈥?works, including L鈥櫭妕re et le n茅ant, attempt to work out the implications of his views for the nature of consciousness and judgement. For Sartre our capacity to make negative judgements is one of the fundamental puzzles of consciousness. Like Heidegger he took the 鈥榦ntological鈥?approach of relating this to the nature of non-being, a move that decisively differentiates him from the Anglo-American tradition of modern logic (see being, nothing, quantifier, variable). Sartre's work on other minds illustrates by contrast a strength of the psychological approach, as he explores in detail such experiences as being in the gaze of another person, and connects them with the choices that then result. Sartre's work is notoriously difficult, but emotionally there is no question that he spoke powerfully to the sombre post-war years, when questions of responsibility and its denial held centre-stage in the political life of France.

He was an existentialist, one of the first along with Soren Kierkegaard (sp). Believed that people have the freedom to make their own choices, did not believe in fate, viewed that as an excuse.

Is George W Bush an existentialist? Like Jean Paul Sartre there is no exit.?

JP Sartre was an atheistic existenialist, GW tries to connect all his actions to made-up communications with God, so Bush can't possibly be in the same school of though as Sartre or existentialists.

How do you pronounce Jean Paul Sartre's name? Specifically the Sartre part...?

thanks!|||Zhan Paul Sartruh with just the slightest ruh. It almost sounds like Sart, but the ruh sound is barely there.|||Jean: Sounds like John.


Paul : Paul


Sartre: pronounce Sartre like this "SART" as in the word "art" with a "s"|||Sar-tur|||"sart- ruff" minus the "uff"|||Timberwolf has it right, except of course there's a theory that the French and their progeny in Qubec have an extra organ in their airway to allow them to pronounce those R sounds that have no equivalent in the rest of the world.|||the first part, jean, is kind of like a shh souns, but more of a buzzing, so you'd say it with the sound like john, then paul, then you'd say Sat with a little bit of a roll between the a and t, and then you roll the r at the end. it's really difficult to explain, but i'm in french and I'm good with pronouncing things.|||Jean ... sort of like John only the "J" is soft, almost like a "Z". Paul is just Paul and the Satre. Sort of like "sat" only with a slight gurgle sound at the end. Geez, I never realized how difficult it was to describe in words only how to pronounce something.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_S鈥?/a>
