Revisit one of the most important pillars in modern philosophy with this new English translation--the first in more than 60 years--of Jean-Paul Sartre's seminal treatise on existentialism. "This is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time" (The New York Times).In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance. In a new, more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice. Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. Now with a new foreword by Harvard professor of philosophy Richard Moran, this clear-eyed translation guarantees that the groundbreaking ideas that Sartre introduced in this resonant work will continue to inspire for generations to come.

This collection, which also includes 'The Room', 'Erostratus' and 'Intimacy' - short psychological tales in which individuals grapple with questions of madness, sexuality and death - as well as 'The Childhood of a Leader', the extended chronicle of a young man's emotional deterioration and embrace of Fascism, provides a fascinating and accessible introduction to the author who would become the figurehead of Existentialism

Schon Sartres Hauptwerk "Das Sein und das Nichts" enthält theoretische Grundlagen für die Entfaltung einer Ethik oder Moral. Gleichwohl sind die vermutlich zwischen 1947 und 1948 entstandenen, aus dem Nachlass herausgegebenen und jetzt erstmalig auf Deutsch vorliegenden "Entwürfe für eine Moralphilosophie" (die deutsche Publikation beruht überwiegend auf der französischen Ausgabe von 1983) keine lineare Fortsetzung von Sartres Hauptwerk, aber eine Art "erste Moral". Sie dokumentieren Sartres Übergang von einer bestimmten Freiheitsauffassung zu einem immer stärker werdenden Interesse für Entfremdung und Unterdrückung in ihren vielfältigen Formen. In einer Reihe von Texten geht es um Freiheit und Geschichte, um Tod, Transzendenz, das Böse, Schuld, Gewissen, Gott, Natur und um den Menschen. Die Fragmente, bei denen der Philosoph auf frühere Überlegungen zurückgegriffen hat, sind verschieden weit ausgearbeitet und durchweg nicht zu Ende geführt. Doch anregend ist die anspruchsvolle Lektüre (mit Vorwort, Einleitung und ausführlichen Anmerkungen und Registern) allemal.
