A Critical Study of Jean Paul Sartre on Human Free Will

in this paper, Sartre`s view on Human free will and its realm from Sartre's point of view has been studied. Sartre believes in the primacy of existence over nature in human. It is not possible for human being to be originated from God, because in the case of its being from God, there would remain no place for human free will. As viewed by him, human being is not other than free will and free will is not other than human being as well. But this view may not be agreed with, because it is self-evident that it is not reasonable for the existence of every possible being to be without a cause. Given Sartre view, good and bad would be based on human desire and, therefore, relative. Sartre has confused between human nature and his existential perfections. The existence of nature in humans may not be the complete cause of his/her actions. Human originality lies in his/her soul and God is also a Real and Absolute being. Given the case contrary to this, there would be no executive guarantee good actions.
