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...

圖書標籤: 哲學 存在主義 Existentialism Sartre 法國 薩特 Philosophy 西方哲學
現在為止看過最平易近人的哲學原著。有種和藹可親的薩特老爺爺給你慢慢講述人生道理(大霧!)的感覺。
評分"In fashioning myself, i fashion man."
評分"If every way to a solution is barred..
評分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.
評分本來誰談ethical grounding都談不好,又因為是資質平平的薩特就更一塌糊塗。試圖reconcile存在主義和人道主義的代價就是同時扭麯兩者的本意,到頭來隻作跳梁小醜。
