"The philosophers Camus and Sartre raise the question whether or not a man can condemn himself"

- Stokely Carmichael

About this Quote

This quote by Stokely Carmichael is describing the philosophical dispute between the French philosophers Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. The two theorists were disputing the concept of whether a man can condemn himself. Camus argued that a man can not condemn himself due to the fact that he is not an objective judge of his own actions. Sartre, on the other hand, argued that a male can condemn himself since he is the only one who can genuinely comprehend the motivations behind his actions. This dispute has been continuous for centuries and is still appropriate today. It is a concern of morality and individual responsibility. Can a man be held liable for his own actions, or is he simply a product of his environment? This quote by Stokely Carmichael is a suggestion that this debate is still relevant which it is essential to consider both sides of the argument.
