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.

讀後感
要评价一个人，追溯其所处环境及动机是必要的。环境即为限制，而动机说明了一个人曾想要成为一个什么样的人。〔萨特说：“任何一个人类意图都表现为企图超过这些限制，或者扩大这些限制，不然就是否定这些限制，或者使自己适应这些限制。”） 因为有了这样的梳理，任何...
評分 評分1945年在巴黎一个酒吧里，只有5英尺高且相貌平平的萨特，被淹没在聚集在他周围的人群里，但是他发出的声音却是振聋发聩，席卷当时的法国，这一演讲最终整理成这本书。当时的人们对于存在主义是一种讽刺的态度，“Sir, what a honor, existentialism”。 当时的主要是年轻人信奉...
評分【这篇短文里萨特的基本主张是存在先于本质，人以自己的行动选择和发明自己。是上帝不存在的逻辑推衍。人的本质是自由，但恰恰因此他必须在选择中对自己和人类负责。之所以是人道主义是因为人或存在的超越性和主观性。很短的小文，论述不甚清楚，其对海德格尔的无神论解释很可...

20180928大學時讀完寫的，太膚淺→→【一般聽到存在主義，都會覺得是很消極地否定一切的虛無，甚至被世人分為無神論者，但是其實上帝的存在這一根本問題是不在考慮範圍之內的。更多的，是積極地探索，不管上帝是否存在人類道德標準是否有根基，人都應該為自己的自由和自己想要過上的生活而奮鬥。存在先與本質，然後人纔是賦予“存在”意義的東西。給自己的“存在”下一個定義，然後過上被定義過的生活。當然，這樣做需要勇氣啊。】
评分As a doctrine of action, it is optimistic and illuminating. The real problem is not of God's existentce; what man needs is to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God. Human beings define themselves by their own actions.

评分【大概是存在主義最好懂的一本書】囧。難怪我說存在與虛無要被嘲笑瞭。
评分最有趣的是正文之後Naville與Sartre死纏濫打地問答。
