The condition of
society in the 21st century has a pronounced fear of individual freedom. The
relevance of Sartre’s philosophy remains intact because we desperately need a
counterweight to a world that promotes dictatorial compliance. As a seminal
thinker and most celebrated existential proponent, Sartre stirred a post World
War II generation to view their existence from a non-traditional perspective
that caused extensive establishment criticism and apprehension. The liberation
and awareness celebration that distinguishes the realization of personal freedom
during the 1960’s counter culture revolution owes a debt of gratitude to the
French philosopher.
