It was to correct common misconceptions about his thought that Sartre accepted an invitation to speak on October 29, 1945, at the Club Maintenant in Paris. The unstated objective of his lecture ("Existentialism Is a Humanism") was to expound his philosophy as a form of "existentialism," a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience. The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity.The idea of freedom occupies the center of Sartre's doctrine. Man, born into an empty, godless universe, is nothing to begin with. He creates his essence--his self, his being--through the choices he freely makes ("existence precedes essence"). Were it not for the contingency of his death, he would never end. Choosing to be this or that is to affirm the value of what we choose. In choosing, therefore, we commit not only ourselves but all of mankind.This edition of "Existentialism Is a Humanism" is a translation of the 1996 French edition, which includes Arlette Elkaim-Sartre's introduction and a QandA with Sartre about his lecture. Paired with "Existentialism Is a Humanism" is another seminal Sartre text, his commentary on Camus's "The Stranger." In her foreword, intended for an American audience, acclaimed Sartre biographer Annie Cohen-Solal offers an assessment of both works.

读后感
萨特此人和他的存在主义耳闻已久，在书店里翻到这本书便被他的思想吸引住了。他主张存在先于本质，既否定了上帝造人的神话，又否定了先天的性善论和性恶论。在他说来，先是有人，然后通过人的自由选择的行动，人才成为了他那样的好人或恶人。由于人的行为出于自由选择，所以要...

评分 评分对存在主义只读过这么一篇小短文，有一些疑问，希望大神们多多指教啊！ 1 萨特用裁纸刀和人的比较来说明人的存在先于本质。人和裁纸刀是有区别的，裁纸刀是被人造出来的，而因为上帝不存在，所以人不是被造出来的，于是人的存在先于本质。那动物呢？别的生物呢？如果上帝不存...

比其它几本都好懂点- -
评分辩论的部分就没什么意思，但是前面的确是，完全为自己的行为负责
评分constant self-creation; Chan Buddhism and Sartre
评分I agree that we all are completely responsible for ourselves and somewhat responsible for any other person who is concerned with our decisions. We cannot and should not estrange ourselves from the collectivity of humanity or even attempt to do so. However, as to the absolute freedom, I still hesitate to avow its plausibility or even righteousness.
评分As a doctrine of action, it is optimistic and illuminating. The real problem is not of God's existentce; what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God. Human beings define themselves by their own actions.
