Synopsis
Published in 1943, "Being and Nothingness" is recognized as a central work of existentialism. This monumental study of the human condition--which many have viewed as a philosophical response to the horrors of World War II--deals with love, hate, sex, anguish, and a great many other themes. According to Sartre, "man is the being by whom Nothingness comes into the world."
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Modern thought has realized considerable progress by reducing the existent to the series of appearances which manifest it."
Industry Reviews
"There can be no doubt that this is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time."
Bossy
