具体描述

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.

《存在主义是一种人道主义》 文学（艺术）作品在作为内容和精神能量的供应方的同时输送着慢性致幻剂 —— 虚构性。 如同修饰后的历史对事实真相造成的扭曲效果，所谓的真相也只能是排却世俗物质性后源于对高维生命所赐予灵感的坚信（每一个人都是藏在神性理性中的某种概念的体...

因为你行动，所以你是你 ------谈《存在主义是一种人道主义》 你是否意识到自我的存在？ 当然，这一问题对于大多数人来说是不存在的。我是某某，我是学生，我是某某的儿女。可是在萨特看来，一旦你把自己说成为某一客观的东西，那你自己的...  

用户评价

"In fashioning myself, i fashion man."

现在为止看过最平易近人的哲学原著。有种和蔼可亲的萨特老爷爷给你慢慢讲述人生道理（大雾！）的感觉。

还是得学法语和德语才行。有幸再看原著

20180928大学时读完写的，太肤浅→→【一般听到存在主义，都会觉得是很消极地否定一切的虚无，甚至被世人分为无神论者，但是其实上帝的存在这一根本问题是不在考虑范围之内的。更多的，是积极地探索，不管上帝是否存在人类道德标准是否有根基，人都应该为自己的自由和自己想要过上的生活而奋斗。存在先与本质，然后人才是赋予“存在”意义的东西。给自己的“存在”下一个定义，然后过上被定义过的生活。当然，这样做需要勇气啊。】

唯一喜欢的萨特的一篇essay 非常讨厌萨特 非常喜欢这一篇 在做选择时能给人力量 我不仅有义务选择真正的自己 还有义务选择ethical universal good 因为作为个体我必须对人性负责
