Abstract: (683 Views)
The fundamental question of "freedom" has a special place in this research, and philosophers have given different answers to it throughout history. It is important to examine the issue of "freedom" in several ways. The result of this study has a great impact on various human aspects such as: sociology, art, philosophy, etc.
In this research, Sartre's theory about "freedom" will be analyzed. Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the philosophers of existentialism who has made a great contribution to the development of this school of thought. According to his intellectual principles, he says that there is no difference between human existence and his freedom, because freedom strikes him like a sudden thunderbolt with the birth of a human being. For Sartre, human freedom was dealing with a concept that gave rise to individual independence
The choice of Jean-Paul Sartre in this research is due to the fact that he is a famous philosopher and has many writings, and perhaps a philosopher did not speak explicitly about human freedom. One of the characteristics of the school of existentialism is the emphasis on the free will of human beings. To the extent that authority is not considered a description of human nature, but rather it belongs to the structure of the conscious being and precedes its nature.
"Man is doomed to freedom ... Man is completely free and has no choice but to choose and commit himself in some way," says Sartre, emphasizing that authority belongs to the structure of the human soul. According to Sartre, the main characteristic of man that distinguishes him from other beings is freedom. He believes that freedom is the foundation for all human goals. Freedom is not a kind of existence but human existence. The central point of Sartre's argument in Existence and Non-Existence is that man is completely free, a person who chooses his own values. He argues that human freedom is not threatened by nature or education, and that no internal or external factors conflict with human freedom.
According to critics and experts, if hell is not the best play by Jean-Paul Sartre, it is definitely his most important work. Therefore, the selection of this play, the text of which is briefly discussed, the most important play of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century is selected and examined.
The similarity of the play space with the living space of human beings, considering the current conditions of the country and even the world (especially after the widespread and epidemic of coronary heart disease and quarantine space) with hell and the world in which we all human beings, in a way, not all So, there will be no way forward, in a cycle of succession and emptiness, there is no captive and no way to escape, unless one finds a suitable escape, that is, a cross. (While in the text of the play, although at the end, the exit is opened to the characters of the story, but they no longer want to leave.)
