Insight into Sarte's conception of h**l.

Question

Im not looking for a well detailed summary. h**l of sarte's "no exit".

What is the most interesting point you found in it and explain what it means and how it molds with sartes philosophy?

The best answer is constituted by the one with a clearest format, most knowledgable, and one that poses room for contemplation or consideration towards other things. Essentially a d**n good answer not for lazy bums who think a clever trite statement will get them an easy win.

Answer 1

Did you mean Satre?   jean-Paul Satre, the French philosopher?  I'm unaware of a Sarte.

And why do you want us to do your homework.  My "lazy bum detector" has just gone off!  It was facing you!

Answer 2

Sartre's concept of h**l is not, as one character exclaims, "other people", but rather the dissolution of pure ego that existentialism requires, as a result of close proximity to other people.

One becomes 'happy,' to Sartre, through self-awareness and ultimately self-construction.  This isn't 'happiness' in the conventional sense, more like a state of nirvana where the concept of needs extrinsic to the self is minimized, or eliminated altogether.

In the h**l of No Exit, however, each of the characters are denied that self-realization because they are forced to share a room together for eternity, blocking their ability to withdraw into themselves and re-construct themselves fully.  Instead, through the constant perception and comment by their room-mates, the characters are exposed to others preconceptions of themselves, and thus must accommodate them.  This precludes existential fulfillment, and thus makes life hellish.

Answer 3

In his play "The Flies" one of his characters talks of h**l being other people. Typical existential miserableism.

Answer 4

Twisted relations with another is h**l.

Good relations imply by inversion heaven.

However, JPS also notes that man is a useless passion, a no-exit endgame of relative authenticity itself proportionate to awareness of limited freedom.

Hence, both h**l and heaven are relativized, as are all of JPS' terms (e.g., "transcendental").
