It was to correct common misconceptions about his thought that Sartre accepted an invitation to speak on October 29, 1945, at the Club Maintenant in Paris. The unstated objective of his lecture ("Existentialism Is a Humanism") was to expound his philosophy as a form of "existentialism," a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience. The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity.The idea of freedom occupies the center of Sartre's doctrine. Man, born into an empty, godless universe, is nothing to begin with. He creates his essence--his self, his being--through the choices he freely makes ("existence precedes essence"). Were it not for the contingency of his death, he would never end. Choosing to be this or that is to affirm the value of what we choose. In choosing, therefore, we commit not only ourselves but all of mankind.This edition of "Existentialism Is a Humanism" is a translation of the 1996 French edition, which includes Arlette Elkaim-Sartre's introduction and a QandA with Sartre about his lecture. Paired with "Existentialism Is a Humanism" is another seminal Sartre text, his commentary on Camus's "The Stranger." In her foreword, intended for an American audience, acclaimed Sartre biographer Annie Cohen-Solal offers an assessment of both works.

评分美本教材。萨特有点像康德，也有点像斯多葛。
评分Condemned to be free. This is exactly where our happiness lies.
评分20180928大学时读完写的，太肤浅→→【一般听到存在主义，都会觉得是很消极地否定一切的虚无，甚至被世人分为无神论者，但是其实上帝的存在这一根本问题是不在考虑范围之内的。更多的，是积极地探索，不管上帝是否存在人类道德标准是否有根基，人都应该为自己的自由和自己想要过上的生活而奋斗。存在先与本质，然后人才是赋予“存在”意义的东西。给自己的“存在”下一个定义，然后过上被定义过的生活。当然，这样做需要勇气啊。】
评分I agree that we all are completely responsible for ourselves and somewhat responsible for any other person who is concerned with our decisions. We cannot and should not estrange ourselves from the collectivity of humanity or even attempt to do so. However, as to the absolute freedom, I still hesitate to avow its plausibility or even righteousness.
