I'm also teaching Sartre today, and I thought that this quote might help frame the debate:<br /><br />"The word “subjectivism” is to be understood in two senses, and our adversaries play upon only one of them. Subjectivism means, on the one hand, the freedom of the individual subject and, on the other, that man cannot pass beyond human subjectivity. It is the latter which is the deeper meaning of existentialism. When we say that man chooses himself, we do mean that every one of us must choose himself; but by that we also mean that in choosing for himself he chooses for all men. For in effect, of all the actions a man may take in order to create himself as he wills to be, there is not one which is not creative, at the same time, of an image of man such as he believes he ought to be. To choose between this or that is at the same time to affirm the value of that which is chosen; for we are unable ever to choose the worse. What we choose is always the better; and nothing can be better for us unless it is better for all."anotherpanaceahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170804573665745672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33488833.post-4640505116456841082009-12-05T15:17:12.124-06:002009-12-05T15:17:12.124-06:00Awesome.

I think it'll take me a few days to figure out whether to offer a rejoinder or throw in the towel, but thanks very much for this thoughtful response.anotherpanaceahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170804573665745672noreply@blogger.com
