"Everything has been figured out, except how to live"-Jean-Paul Sartre?

1.) Restate the quote/explain the quote in your own words


2.) Explain what the quote means


3.) Describe any unfamiliar words or words that will aid in understanding


4.) Give an example supporting/illustrating the meaning of the quote


5.) Explain why you agree or disagree with the quote


6.) State what elements of existentialism the quote relates to and how|||One of my favorite quotations.|||This quote is outdated and lacks any significance in today's world.



We live in a mechanical environment amongst mechanical people. The will to live has disappeared man only exist, he has ceased being a subject filled with subjectivity. And because man no longer has a will "how to live" has no meaning or importance.



Existentialism is dead because man exist in a state of the virtual. Man does not suffer, question or exist in a constant state of dread because his will has simply disappeared into the creature comforts that are afforded him through capitalism.|||1. it seems it's your homework.





2. it means 'ignorant'.





3. http://www.suite101.com/content/understa鈥?/a>





4. celebrity





5. I agree - the reason is the majority is blind or blindfolded.





6. do your own research - I will have to do mine.|||Poor, nihilistic Go Sane.





Of course it is true. The answer is different for everyone as how to live is different for everyone. My life style would probably drive others mad (and vice versa) but it is my choice not theirs.
