Hi, I was just wondering the other day how many of you agree with Sartre who claims that existance is more important than essence?

Sartre never said that existence is more important than essence, merely that existence precedes essence.
EDIT: It was people like Camus who founded Existentialism, even though they would have refused to have been identified with it (I can't blame them, Existentialism isn't some popular sensational philosophy, it's a deeply austere technical concept meant for technical philosophers).

Of course...
If there is no existence, how can there be essence?!

You are right off-course. But is Sartre's humanism really fesable?Originally posted by Whaleboy

Well that depends. Remember this is a man who became a communist, who's humanism was born of Nazi-occupied Paris, which he once described as being freer than at any other time in history; because one could chose to collaborate or not. If one joined the resistance as he did, if you failed you would be executed in Germany, but you were free to do as you wished as no law could apply to you.You are right off-course. But is Sartre's humanism really fesable?
