An Existentialist Morality
The behaviour of the human being in any given society, his/her relationship with other persons, what actions s/he ought or ought not to perform, the question of whether there is free will or freedom, the issue of free choice, determinism verses indeterminism, responsibility, what constitute rightness and wrongness of an action, what is involved in assessment of a person as moral or immoral, what is a person's duty... These and many other similar questions that touch on the content and nature of morality have dominated discussions in (moral) philosophy from the earliest times. This has generated over the years many different types of ethical theories. One of such ethical theories that one might not easily ignore is an existentialist morality arising from absolute individualism and absolute human freedom. Freedom is one of our basic constitutions as humans. It also constitutes an essential component in making moral judgments or in consideration of the morality of human action. However, the ethics of absolute freedom is far remote from our concrete human experience. There is doubt about us being free. We also have a sense of responsibility accompanying our freedom. Thus, freedom is not an absolute value.
