Sartre claims that we are 'condemned to free will.' Namely, because humans have no purpose in their lives, beginning with accidental origin, and ending with, presumably, a series of freely selected actions, void of purpose, which lead to death.
I would like to think that humans are capable of assigning themselves their own purpose. In Sartre's view, God does not exist, nor does an objective autonomous good exist. Does this not mean that a subjective worldview of what is good cannot intrinsically allocate purpose to the life of an individual? Or would Sartre merely say that subjective purpose would give anyone purpose for doing anything, and therefore, when every action is purposeful, no action is?
