Attendee 7 - Jean-Paul Sartre

Existentialist Philosopher and Coffee Connoisseur

Philosophical Contributions:

Being-for-Itself

"Human existence is a self-deception, a perpetual
necessity to escape the crushing weight of
being-for-itself."

Being-for-Other

"The only true freedom is to be free from the
tyranny of being-for-itself, but that's
a freedom that's hard to find in this
existentialist mess."

Interests:

Coffee

"I drink coffee to forget that I forget, and then I forget that I drink coffee."

Writing

"I write to make sense of the senseless, and then the senselessness writes me."
