Notions of Selflessness in Sartrean Existentialism and Theravadin Buddhism

Sartre's Existentialism and Selfless Abstracts in Theravadin's Buddhism: In this article, I will present a phenomenological description of the expressed "self" in Sartre's early works (in particular with and without) and some methods of Buddhism Relationships between the elements you can research to study. The major role of this work will be obvious to those who understand many schools and traditions embodied in Buddhism. For the sake of brevity, I decided to choose a specific aspect of the tradition known as seravadin as representative of Buddhist philosophy.

"Presence is before the essence" Jean-Paul Sartre gave us the foundation of Sartre's existentialism, which is the opposite of Aristotle's faith. That is, the belief that the essence is before existence and that most religions are based on God's plan "on" This Sartrean concept is a person who unconsciously discovered himself in a world not created for himself It defines the meaning of its existence. Or, in Sartre's lifelong friends and colleagues Simone de Beauvoire's words, "We have to learn the power of life and the reasons of life and understand the actual situation of our life.

Atheistic existentialism, also known as Sartre 's existentialism, is the idea led by Sartre himself. This belief does not recognize the existence of God, so men and women can move freely. Sartre believes that the meaning of his life depends only on decisions made for himself and herself. Since humans can not explain in hostile environments and indifferent cosmos, many existentialists are accidentally atheists. Existentialists do not believe that God must be eliminated from existentialism like Karl Jasper. This existentialism is called Christian existentialism and Christian existentialists consider themselves to be "unique individuals" in front of existentialists. This philosopher of faith will focus on the relationship between myself and God.

Sartre 's existentialism does not recognize the existence of God and other decisive principles, so human beings can choose freely. With the freedom of this choice, the result of the person's choice is responsible. With this responsibility, there will be deep pain and fear. Despite being present in an irrational universe, existentialism tries to explain our desire to make rational decisions. Unfortunately, life may not have an essential meaning (an existential atheist), or it may not have the meaning we can understand (existentialist).

The main philosophical change, which is a big contradiction with Sartre 's existentialism, is the view of human nature, bearing the conclusion drawn from his analysis of the concept of life and artistic rebellion. In the concept of humanity, he found the reason and reason for the union between people. Absurdity has been replaced by sympathy, community, morality of serving others. We believe that any situation is the raw material of our joint effort and not as a regulator of them: we imagine ourselves as a completely independent agent. ... We have established our own relationships with the world, with no restrictions from outside, no top priority, no presence pattern imposed. And freedom is the essence of our existence. (Simone de Beauvoir, 1963)
