In it, Sartre offers nothing less than a brilliant and radical account of the human condition. The English philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch wrote to a friend of "the excitement - I remember nothing like it since the days of discovering Keats and Shelley and Coleridge". What gives our lives significance, Sartre argues in Being and Nothingness, is not pre-established for us by God or nature but is something for which we ourselves are responsible. Combining this with the unsettling view that human existence is characterized by radical freedom and the inescapability of choice, Sartre introduces us to a cast of ideas and characters that are part of philosophical legend: anguish; the 'bad faith' of the memorable waiter in the caf�e; sexual desire; and the 'look' of the other, brought to life by Sartre's famous description of someone looking through a keyhole. Above all, by arguing that we alone create our values and that human relationships are characterized by hopeless conflict, Sartre paints a stark and controversial picture of our moral universe and one that resonates strongly today. This new translation includes a helpful Translator's Introduction, notes on the translation, a comprehensive index and a foreword by Richard Moran."--Book jacket. 546 $a Translated from the French. 700 1 $a Richmond, Sarah, $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710055324.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020726.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011304.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220104010943.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20211102010650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36750D763BA211EC953CA64D4EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
