The four essays of varying length assembled in this volume bear witness to Sartre’s preoccupation with philosophers and their work. In these pages he examines Descartes’s concept of freedom; comments on a fundamental idea in Husserl’s phenomenology: intentionality; writes a mixed review of Denis de Rougemont’s monumental Love in the Western World; and provides an extensive critical analysis of the work of Brice Parain, one of France’s leading philosophers of language.

An in-depth analysis of two of Sartre’s contemporaries, Bataille and Blanchot.

The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed and affordable editions. “There is a crisis of the essay,” begins Sartre as he ventures into a long analysis of the work of one of his contemporaries who he argues might save this form: Georges Bataille. From there, Sartre moves on in this compact volume to consider Aminadab, the most important work of another hugely influential philosopher, Maurice Blanchot, through whom, writes Sartre, “the literature of the fantastic continues the steady progress that will inevitably unite it, ultimately, with what it has always been.”

Most moving is an essay on André Gide, written right after his death, in which Sartre writes, “We thought him scared and embalmed; he dies and we discover how alive he was.”

Berlin, hvor han især studerede Edmund Husserl og Martin Heidegger. Her skrev Sartre Ego’ets transcendens, der i skitseform rummer grundtanken til hele hans senere filosofi. Det lille skrift er en slags programerklæring for Sartres efterfølgende filosofiske produktion og giver grundtrækkene i hans bevidsthedsfilosofi. Bogen beskæftiger sig kritisk med fænomenologien, som den fremtræder i Husserls arbejder, men den er samtidig selv en fænomenologisk analyse. Ego’ets transcendens blev første gang offentliggjort i 1936 og er således Sartres første bog. Bogen udkom første gang på dansk i 1975 og i 2. udgave i 1995. 2. udgaven genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

Roman-pesa "Stavok bolshe net" byl napisan Sartrom esche v 1943 godu, no opublikovan tolko po okonchanii vojny, v 1947 godu. V dlinnoj ocheredi v kabinet, gde reshajutsja v zagrobnom mire posmertnye sudby, stalkivajutsja dvoe - prekrasnaja zhenschina, otravlennaja muzhem radi nasledstva, i molodoj revoljutsioner, zastrelennyj predatelem. Stalkivajutsja, nachinajut govorit, chtoby izbavitsja ot skuki ozhidanija, i... uspevajut poljubit drug druga nastolko silno, chto neozhidanno poluchajut vtoroj shans na vozvraschenie v mir zhivykh, ved v bumagi "nebesnoj bjurokratii" vkralas oshibka - eti dvoe, prednaznachennye drug dlja druga, tak i ne vstretilis pri zhizni. No est uslovie - za odni lish sutki vljublennye dolzhny najti drug druga na zemle, inache oni vernutsja v zagrobnyj mir uzhe naveki...

"Bytie i nichto" (1943 g.) - osnovopolagajuschij trud Zh. P. Sartra, v kotorom on rassmatrivaet vazhnejshie dlja ekzistentsializma voprosy - suschnost bytija, osobennosti soznanija, otnoshenie cheloveka k drugim ljudjam i k miru veschej.

First published in French in 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre’s L’Être et le Néant is one of the greatest philosophical works of the twentieth century. 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". This new translation, the first for over sixty years, makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. 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. At the heart of this view are Sartre’s radical conceptions of consciousness and freedom. Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. 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 café; 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, a comprehensive Index and a Foreword by Richard Moran, Brian D. Young Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University, USA. Translated by Sarah Richmond, University College London, UK.

The early 1970s were a crucial period in the political and intellectual climate of France. The newspaper Libération was founded in the wake of the protest movements of 1968, and the country was gripped by industrial, political and civil unrest on a huge scale. Behind all this were deep debates about the nature and justification of revolt, class conflict and consciousness, and the nature of what it meant to be free. It is Right to Rebel, available in English for the first time with a new Preface by Philippe Gavi, is a fascinating discussion between three thinkers about this extraordinary period. The book comprises extensive conversations between the philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre, journalist and co-founder of Libération Philippe Gavi, and political radical and Maoist Pierre Victor, all conducted between 1972 and 1974. In these conversations Sartre works out his relation between socialism and freedom, providing fascinating background to his tortured relationship with the French Communist Party. Together with his interlocutors they explore and debate what should be the basis of ethics, the nature of oppression and racism, including immigration, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Chilean military coup in 1973 and more. A recurring theme is their exploration of two major questions: what should ethics be based on, and what makes for a revolutionary? It is Right to Rebel is a fascinating insight into the philosophical and political background to Sartre's thought as well as the two lesser-known figures of Gavi and Victor, who play political foil to Sartre's measured philosophical stance. It is a fascinating, rich new resource for anyone studying Sartre, political theory, and French politics and political history.

First published in French magazines in the 1960s, the essays and interviews collected in this volume tackle two of Sartre’s most enduring concerns as a philosopher: politics and literature. With regard to the former, they develop the notion of the intellectual not only as an aloof theoretician, but also as a constructive agent of change. His writings on literature explore the limitations of language as an exact vehicle for meaning, the author’s lack of ownership of his own words and the avenues that certain types of theatre such as Artaud’s open for non-verbal communication. A useful, concise introduction to Sartre’s thinking, Politics and Literature investigates concepts and highlights conflicts, interrogations and debates that remain topical and relevant to this day.

Da den franske filosof Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) i 1943 udgav sit eksistentialistiske hovedværk Væren og Intet, stillede han en nærmere redegørelse for moralfilosofien i udsigt. Selv om han arbejdede alvorligt på projektet 1945-48, måtte han opgive at give det en endelig form. Vanskelighederne lå i at forene den eksistentielle forestilling om frihed, autonomi og valg med en etik, der var almen og gik forud for den enkelte eksistens. Efter Sartres død udkom imidlertid de gamle Hæfter til en moral, og nærværende Etik – hæfter til en moral giver et fyldigt uddrag, der viser Sartres optagethed af frihedsbegrebet og hans forsøg på at udmønte en etik, der ikke byder på vold og beherskelse, men åbner for generøsitet og spontan imødekommelse af den anden. Det Gode opstår i mødet med den anden. Etik – hæfter til en moral udkom første gang på dansk i 1995 og Peter Kemp har skrevet forord. Bogen genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels forlags serie Klassikere.

E medida que a manh se aproxima fatalmente, os prisioneiros atravessam o muro psicol gico entre a vida e a morte, muito antes do primeiro tiro ser disparado. Este brilhante retrato da vida angustiada a perfeita introdu o a uma cole o de hist rias em que a neurose do mundo moderno espelhada na vida das pessoas que o habitam.

First published in 1939, a few years before his most influential works in theatre and philosophy, The Wall was Sartre’s first and only collection of short fiction. The title piece tells the story of a prisoner during the Spanish Civil War, on the eve of his execution by a firing squad, who is told he will be spared if he can betray the whereabouts of a fellow Republican. This leads him to question his cause and his loyalty, as the mental torment that he and two other inmates endure unfolds in unflinching detail. This collection, which also includes ‘The Bedoom’, ‘Herostratus’ and ‘Intimacy’ – short psychological tales in which individuals grapple with questions of madness, sexuality and death – as well as ‘The Childhood of a Leader’, the extended chronicle of a young man’s emotional deterioration and embrace of Fascism, provides a fascinating and accessible introduction to the author who would become the figurehead of Existentialism.

“Everyone is free here. . . . The cities are open. They are open to the world and to the future. That is what gives them all an air of adventure; and . . . a kind of touching beauty.” So wrote the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre on a 1945 trip to the United States during which he crossed the country and dove deep into the soul of the American city. In this new volume, Sartre’s reflections on the distinctly American quality of cities in the United States are accompanied by Pedro Meyer’s photographs of American cities, offering similarly sharp insights, but through a different historical lens: that of the late eighties and early nineties. Together, the photographs and essays articulate the enduring essence of American urban existence—its relationship with time, with labor and humanity, and with the open spaces emblematic of America.
