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.

鄙人實踐發現存在主義利用好瞭能給人以輕鬆灑脫和鬥誌昂揚的感覺,在此把存在主義的主要觀點和自己的認識糅閤在瞭一起,思維狹隘暫且羅列這麼多。望更多人能“存在一點,勝人一籌”。 ----- 1.存在先於本質: “不是其所是,是其所不是。”在行動未投嚮未來之前,你什麼都不...
評分1945年在巴黎一個酒吧裏,隻有5英尺高且相貌平平的薩特,被淹沒在聚集在他周圍的人群裏,但是他發齣的聲音卻是振聾發聵,席捲當時的法國,這一演講最終整理成這本書。當時的人們對於存在主義是一種諷刺的態度,“Sir, what a honor, existentialism”。 當時的主要是年輕人信奉...
評分 評分薩特此人和他的存在主義耳聞已久,在書店裏翻到這本書便被他的思想吸引住瞭。他主張存在先於本質,既否定瞭上帝造人的神話,又否定瞭先天的性善論和性惡論。在他說來,先是有人,然後通過人的自由選擇的行動,人纔成為瞭他那樣的好人或惡人。由於人的行為齣於自由選擇,所以要...

辯論的部分就沒什麼意思,但是前麵的確是,完全為自己的行為負責
評分好一個對存在主義的辯護。again, its all about choice, responsibility and invention. 存在主義和曆史唯物主義的關係在薩特口中怎麼變得這麼模糊。還有最後提到的transcendence真的沒有誤導性麼
