Questions on the Authentic Life

1. Sartre calls it 'bad faith' when we don't behave as if we were aware of our transcendent nature, or if we act as if our facticity is irrelevant. In what way is bad faith bad? Is it a moral failing? Should we care particularly about being in bad faith?

2. In the lecture I described how Sartre used the Questions and Absences to justify his claim that we were transcendent. He also used the ability to judege that Destruction has occurred for the same purpose. Any idea how he'd do that? Do you think that these are good arguments?

3. Does the for-itself (i.e. us) have any responsibility towards others? 

4. How would an existentialist, fully aware of his freedom, react to the Nazi invasion of Paris? What would they have to consider when deciding how to act?

5. We become the people we are through the choices we make. Nothing determines the choice we make - not even ourselves. So our choices are free to the point of randomness. Are they random? Can we be blamed for the choices we make? Are we responsible for the creation of ourselves? Yet Sartre says we are responsible. Can anybody explain what's going on here?
