Jean-Paul Sartre, a French philosopher, is perhaps the best known advocate of existentialism. In this view, no external authority gives life meaning: mankind is radically free and responsible. In every moment we choose ourselves, with no assurance that we have a continuing identity or power. We set up determinisms to ease our minds, but in the face of the finality of death, only through our present consciousness do we establish our own authentic existence. 
Sartre's existentialism faces the evil in human existence and sees that humans are responsible for it. He doubts mankind can make moral progress, yet he embraces the possibilities for human life and believes we can attain dignity by our own efforts. Sartre’s ideas had a profound influence on ordinary people after World War II and continue to contribute to the development of thought in Europe and America today.

The elemental forces of air, earth, fire, and water are among the most powerful in the multiverse, forming the basis of the material world and giving spellcasters and creatures capable of wielding them immeasurable influence. Now players and Game Masters can harness these powers for themselves by exploring the elemental planes―entire realms of existence dedicated to the four elements―in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Planes of Power. Each of the four elemental planes is fully detailed like never before, with advice on adventuring in their harsh environs, new spells and character options, location gazetteers, and a thorough examination of a major settlement that offers a welcoming landing site for travelers from other planes (such as explorers in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign).
