Jean-Paul Sartre's first principle of atheistic existentialism is encapsulated in the idea that "existence precedes essence." This means that individuals are not born with a predetermined nature or purpose; instead, they must create their own essence through choices and actions. In the absence of a divine creator, humans bear the responsibility for defining their own values and meaning in life, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom and authenticity.

Describe and compare Campbell's account of libertarian free will with Sartre's?
Campbell believes that free will is incomparable with determinism. Campbell believes that every one has fre will which makes determinism invalid. Campbell feels that if person a does job b that the same the same set of beliefs, values, desires, and motives hold true even if person decides to do job c instead of job b. Sartre is considered a libertarian as well as is Campbell. Sartre, however, believes that freedom is unlimited. Total fredom means total responsibility for our actions. With absolute freedom the government can't take it away. The government can take away freedom for committing crimes. Campbell's theory has no responsibility for our actions as does Sartres'. Campbell's theory reminds me of a 2 year old who when he/she sees something they like or want they simply take it. His theory,also, reminds me of politicians when they are running for office. They promise a great many things because they desire to be elected then forget those promises when elected. Sartres theory is more well rounded. With freedom comes choices and responsibility. If a 2 year old reaches for something they want and may not have they get a spanking. Thet chose and had the freedom to reach for the forbidden objects and so must pay the consequences.
