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

鄙人实践发现存在主义利用好了能给人以轻松洒脱和斗志昂扬的感觉，在此把存在主义的主要观点和自己的认识糅合在了一起，思维狭隘暂且罗列这么多。望更多人能“存在一点，胜人一筹”。 ----- 1.存在先于本质： “不是其所是，是其所不是。”在行动未投向未来之前，你什么都不...

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

萨特对于存在主义的立场基础建立在对于Determinism的强烈抗拒。证伪的过程与任何其他Constructivism都是一样的。不过萨特是在C里最喜欢的一个流派，也是做选择时我会情不自禁偏向的一个选项

比其它几本都好懂点- -

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
