Document Summary

We decide what we are almost completely. If we don"t succeed, just keep trying; it"s all on us. If we don"t succeed because the world or physical limitations get in our way we can choose to care about some other goal instead. Or, we can just chalk everything up to our facticity . Moderate sartre a retreat from some of the more extreme positions. It"s true that we are always free to choose, but that does not mean that it is up to us how the outside world responds to us. We aren"t in control of what we desire or what we value, but we are free to try to pursue what we already desire and value.
