Being and nothingness : an essay on phenomenological ontology
Sartre, Jean-Paul, 1905-19802020
Book
First published in French in 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre's 'L'Être et le Néant' is one of the greatest philosophical works of the twentieth century. In it, Sartre offers nothing less than a brilliant and radical account of the human condition. The English philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch wrote to a friend of 'the excitement - I remember nothing like it since the days of discovering Keats and Shelley and Coleridge'. This new translation makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. What gives our lives significance, Sartre argues in Being and Nothingness, is not pre-established for us by God or nature but is something for which we ourselves are responsible. At the heart of this view are Sartre's radical conceptions of consciousness and freedom.
