Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas

NOTE

Existentialism and Creativity

There is a debate about whether our minds change or if they are changed by external factors./nExistentialists believe that humans are creative beings who can make choices and overcome the facts of their lives./nJean Paul Sartre's work emphasizes the idea that humans exist as beings who make choices and set intentions for their lives./nThe gap between our present state and future represents nothingness, a space of freedom, creativity, and choice-making.
