Agenda:
QuickWrite (10 minutes): I n your IPN, use information (think direct quote or paraphrase) from your reading at home and from No Exit to respond to this quote:
"What do we mean by saying that existence precedes essence? We mean that man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world – and defines himself afterwards. If man as the existentialist sees him is not definable, it is because to begin with he is nothing. He will not be anything until later, and then he will be what he makes of himself. . . Thus, the first effect of existentialism is that it puts every man in possession of himself as he is, and places the entire responsibility for his existence squarely upon his own shoulders. And, when we say that man is responsible for himself, we do not mean that he is responsible only for his own individuality, but that he is responsible for all men. " --from "Existentialism Is a Humanism" by Jean-Paul Sartre
