Abstract
The idea that philosophy serves a broader purpose in providing guidance on how to live has recently been revived by scholars such as John Cooper and Pierre Hadot. They found that for philosophy to be considered a way of life, it has to be able to shape one’s understanding of the world, guide how one should respond from moment to moment, and reach an existential level in defining one’s being. In this paper, I discuss how Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist philosophy as a way of life by presenting to us an interconnected perspective of human existence and human development in history, guide our philosophical reasoning about our everyday decisions, and offers a practical guide to living an authentic life through assuming responsibility for our life choices and engaging with our situations.
