Being and Nothingness

Synopsis

Revisit one of the most important pillars in modern philosophy with this new english translation—the first in more than 60 years—of jean-paul sartre’s seminal treatise on existentialism. “this is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time” (the new york times). In 1943, jean-paul sartre published his masterpiece, being and nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers.
