Authenticity of Style and Choices in Sartre
In Sartre's philosophy, authenticity in style and choices is crucial. It is not merely about conforming to societal norms but about making personal choices in good faith. These choices should be self-driven, not influenced by others' decisions. Sartre suggests that being influenced by others leads to acting in bad faith, undermining the authenticity of one's style. He emphasizes the importance of making independent choices to maintain authenticity, contrasting this with the idea of being influenced or swayed by others, which he views as acting in bad faith. This distinction is related to Sartre's concept that 'hell is other people,' implying that authenticity can only be achieved through individual, self-determined choices.
