 Key Ideas  I. Existence precedes essence—we are thrown into the world into situations not of our making; so we have to remake them according to the existential deed that affirms our humanity.  II. Man is a useless passion—man’s desires are ever voiding themselves in a desperate search to structure meaning into the world.  III. Man exercises a will to be God—man wills to be a first cause of his contingency to ground it in his deeds. This statement exhibits a personal sovereignty in defiance of a resistant world.  IV. "Hell is other people" (from the novel No Exit). He believed that the master/slave relationship defined the human condition in every dimension.
