Being and Nothingness

In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his landmark work, Being and Nothingness, establishing himself as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. This profound and radical exploration of the human experience examines what gives life meaning, arguing that we alone create our values and that our existence is defined by freedom and the inevitability of choice. In this new, accessible translation, Sartre’s groundbreaking ideas come to life, revealing that human consciousness is not a passive vessel for thoughts and experiences but a dynamic force, actively shaping and imbuing the world around us with meaning. Now featuring a foreword by Harvard philosophy professor Richard Moran, this edition ensures that Sartre’s transformative insights will continue to inspire for generations to come. 928 pages Many of our books are sourced second-hand and may not always be in "brand new" condition.
