What do we mean by saying that existence precedes essence?
We mean that man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world – and defines himself afterwards.Man simply is.
Not that he is simply what he conceives himself to be, but he is what he wills, and as he conceives himself after already existing – as he wills to be after that leap towards existence.
Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.
man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.
man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.
man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.
