Description
“Being and Nothingness” is Jean-Paul Sartre’s foundational work on existential philosophy, in which he investigates human existence, consciousness, and freedom. Sartre explores the concept of “being,” distinguishing between “being-for-itself” (conscious beings like humans) and “being-in-itself” (objects). The book delves into the experience of “nothingness,” emphasizing the role of choice and individual freedom in shaping one’s existence. Sartre argues that humans are condemned to be free, bearing the responsibility for their actions and the meaning they create in an otherwise indifferent world. The work challenges traditional ideas of identity, responsibility, and self-actualization, making it a cornerstone of existentialist thought.
