Ideas such as “I am born a labor, poor, a hereditary syphilitic/unhandy” are ones that people tend to resort to as excuses when they feel as if the odds of life are stacked against them and characterized it either “fate” or punishment. In every life situation, an individual finds a choice. In the contemporary world, human life faces boundary situations (COVID) and messy lived experiences such as paralysis, which have different consequences for different people. However, life seems more difficult for the less fortunate to escape their predicament and enjoy a better life. The presence of difficult human conditions in the world brings some serious questions concerning our fate, facticity, situation, and freedom into a sharp focus. In this connection, the paper attempts to rethink Sartre’s idea of absolute freedom in the context of situations that Sartre characterizes as facticity. Since Sartre affirms that humanity encounters certain restrictions on the road of freedom he also claims that freedom alone may change the situation of an individual. The study, however, tries to explore how an individual enjoys freedom despite certain restrictions and limitations and explain how both of these points of view are valid. The work, however, interprets Sartre’s idea of absolute freedom in terms of existential counseling to transcend facticity and break the barriers that prevent people from living a free, authentic, and worthwhile life.

命运会阻碍自由吗?哲学实践

当人们感觉生活的机会对他们不利时,人们往往会用诸如“我生来是劳工、穷人、遗传性梅毒/不方便”之类的想法作为借口,并将其描述为“命运”或惩罚。 。在每种生活情况下,个人都会做出选择。在当代世界,人类生活面临边界情况(新冠肺炎)和瘫痪等混乱的生活经历,这对不同的人有不同的后果。然而,对于那些不幸的人来说,摆脱困境并享受更好的生活似乎更加困难。世界上人类处境困难的存在,使有关我们的命运、事实、处境和自由的一些严重问题成为人们关注的焦点。在这方面,本文试图在萨特描述为事实性的情况下重新思考萨特的绝对自由思想。由于萨特肯定人类在自由之路上会遇到某些限制,因此他也声称自由本身就可以改变个人的处境。然而,该研究试图探索个人如何在某些限制和限制下享受自由,并解释这两种观点如何有效。然而,这部作品从存在主义咨询的角度诠释了萨特的绝对自由思想,以超越现实,打破阻碍人们过上自由、真实和有价值的生活的障碍。
