Nichts und die Anderen

How can Sartre's bad faith help us to better understand ourselves and others? Starting with how it is possible to deceive oneself, to be a liar and his victim at the same time, the work leads through Sartre's philosophy to a critique of it. An understanding of self- deception is crucial to the question of how to deal with self-deceivers, who are booming in the face of rampant conspiracy theories. As an attitude that settles in over the course of a lifetime and goes beyond individual lies, it can lead to anti-semitic, racist, sexist self-conceptions and can only be understood if we take the freedom of the individual in their world, in our coexistence, seriously.
