Our discussion of Beauvoir, Freud, and Camus in this course does not suggest any overarching theme among them. And yet, their treatment and analysis of what a human being is, what drives a human being, and what underlies human existence does suggest a unifying thread among these thinkers. The follow-up question to a discussion of those previous topics, though, is whether their analysis of the human being and the human condition hinders or promotes concern for humanity. In other words, if we understand these three thinkers correctly, could we say that their insights into the human being lead to a responsibility for and duty to others? Make sure to explain the central insight of each of these thinkers, i.e., 1, 2, and 3 above Also, consider what each author would say about what a human being is, what drives a human being, and what underlies human existence, respectively. Once you’ve done that, assess how this insight does or does not lead to a concern for other human beings. Another way to think about this assignment is to ask if any of these thinkers’ ideas promote or could lead to an ethics. It might be the case that none of them will, only one or two will, or maybe all do. The important thing is to try to explain why you think each one does or does not.
