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
今天听到最让人难过的一句话是：哲学解决不了你的问题。 就像《女收藏家》里面说的：我好像总在找什么东西。它可能是一个让生活成立的理由、一套行为方式的理论、或者仅仅是一个战友。最近的困惑是关于自由意志和个人选择，于是找到了萨特。 崇拜萨特是因为他在哲学/理想/行为...
评分【这篇短文里萨特的基本主张是存在先于本质，人以自己的行动选择和发明自己。是上帝不存在的逻辑推衍。人的本质是自由，但恰恰因此他必须在选择中对自己和人类负责。之所以是人道主义是因为人或存在的超越性和主观性。很短的小文，论述不甚清楚，其对海德格尔的无神论解释很可...
评分要评价一个人，追溯其所处环境及动机是必要的。环境即为限制，而动机说明了一个人曾想要成为一个什么样的人。〔萨特说：“任何一个人类意图都表现为企图超过这些限制，或者扩大这些限制，不然就是否定这些限制，或者使自己适应这些限制。”） 因为有了这样的梳理，任何...

评分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...
用户评价
constant self-creation; Chan Buddhism and Sartre
评分As a doctrine of action, it is optimistic and illuminating. The real problem is not of God's existentce; what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God. Human beings define themselves by their own actions.
评分"In fashioning myself, i fashion man."
评分还是得学法语和德语才行。有幸再看原著
