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.

今天聽到最讓人難過的一句話是:哲學解決不瞭你的問題。 就像《女收藏傢》裏麵說的:我好像總在找什麼東西。它可能是一個讓生活成立的理由、一套行為方式的理論、或者僅僅是一個戰友。最近的睏惑是關於自由意誌和個人選擇,於是找到瞭薩特。 崇拜薩特是因為他在哲學/理想/行為...
評分【這篇短文裏薩特的基本主張是存在先於本質,人以自己的行動選擇和發明自己。是上帝不存在的邏輯推衍。人的本質是自由,但恰恰因此他必須在選擇中對自己和人類負責。之所以是人道主義是因為人或存在的超越性和主觀性。很短的小文,論述不甚清楚,其對海德格爾的無神論解釋很可...

圖書標籤: 哲學 存在主義 Existentialism Sartre 法國 薩特 Philosophy 西方哲學
薩特對於存在主義的立場基礎建立在對於Determinism的強烈抗拒。證僞的過程與任何其他Constructivism都是一樣的。不過薩特是在C裏最喜歡的一個流派,也是做選擇時我會情不自禁偏嚮的一個選項
評分唯一喜歡的薩特的一篇essay 非常討厭薩特 非常喜歡這一篇 在做選擇時能給人力量 我不僅有義務選擇真正的自己 還有義務選擇ethical universal good 因為作為個體我必須對人性負責
評分exactly
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。
評分美本教材。薩特有點像康德,也有點像斯多葛。
