                                      2. Assess Sartre's claim that 'we are wholly and forever free'.
                                        1. Is Sartre right that we are 'condemned to be free'?
                                        2. Sartre denies that the unconscious exists yet says that we can be deluded about ourselves (bad faith). This proves the he is inconsistent. Discuss.
