"Sartre’s definition of humanity as the central ethical value...."
Within his 'existentialism' there is no ethics, that he goes on to get from Stalinism.
"If it is indifferent whether one is in good or in bad faith, because bad faith reapprehends good faith and slides to the very origin of the project of good faith, that does not mean that we can not radically escape bad faith. But this supposes a self-recovery of being which was previously corrupted. This self-recovery we shall call authenticity, the description of which has no place here."
