Sorin Baiasu (2016): ‘Sartre claims that we live most of our lives in “bad faith”, not clearly or reflectively aware of our own motives, and he says that “what we might call everyday morality is exclusive of ethical anguish”.
Hier zegt Sartre feitelijk letterlijk dat het niet gezegd is dat kwade trouw onontkoombaar is. Dit kan in talloze studies worden teruggevonden. ‘This alleged inescapabilty of bad faith makes it very difficult to understand how human beings might ever  attain anything approaching authentic existence – a possibility which, as Sartre reminds us, he does not deny and which he describes in a short, enigmatic footnote as a kind of “self-recovery (reprise) of being which was previously corrupted’.

Sorin Baiasu (2016): ‘Sartre claims that we live most of our lives in “bad faith”, not clearly or reflectively aware of our own motives, and he says that “what we might call everyday morality is exclusive of ethical anguish”. But he wants to insist that bad faith is not inevitable, that we can face up to ethical anguish, perhaps in response to Socratic questioning, and use our potential for purifying reflection.’ p. 128.
