编辑推荐Amazon.com Review
Jean-Paul Sartre, the seminal smarty-pants of mid-century thinking, launched the existentialist fleet with the publication ofBeing and Nothingnessin 1943. Though the book is thick, dense, and unfriendly to careless readers, it is indispensable to those interested in the philosophy of consciousness and free will. Some of his arguments are fallacious, others are unclear, but for the most part Sartre's thoughts penetrate deeply into fundamental philosophical territory. Basing his conception of self-consciousness loosely on Heidegger's "being," Sartre proceeds to sharply delineate between conscious actions ("for themselves") and unconscious ("in themselves"). It is a conscious choice, he claims, to live one's life "authentically" and in a unified fashion, or not--this is the fundamental freedom of our lives.Drawing on history and his own rich imagination for examples, Sartre offers compelling supplements to his more formal arguments. The waiter who detaches himself from his job-role sticks in the reader's memory with greater tenacity than the lengthy discussion of inauthentic life and serves to bring the full force of the argument to life. Even if you're not an angst-addicted poet from North Beach,Being and Nothingnessoffers you a deep conversation with a brilliant mind--unfortunately, a rare find these days.--Rob Lightner--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
Review
'Being and Nothingnessis a magnificently imaginative redescription of the human situation. Sartre follows up on leads provided by Hegel and Heidegger in order to replace the Platonic/Aristotelian account of human beings as primarily knowers with a neo-Nietzschean conception of humans as self-creators.'-Richard Rorty
'Being and Nothingnessis a philosophical masterpiece, and a document of what life in the twentieth century was about. It is rare for a work to present such exquisitely abstract thought made vivid through examples imagined by a great novelist.'-Arthur C. Danto, Columbia University
'A fascinating and intriguing work providing a full-blown metaphysic backed by, and at the same time providing the basis for, a complete theory of man.'-Times Literary Supplement
'Full of fascinating and profound analyses of human devices and desires.'-Iris Murdoch
'Rooted in the tragic circumstance of war and occupation, profoundly marked by Heidegger yet also written against him, Sartre's treatise remains a classic. What accounted for the impact of the work on successive generations was the tension between philosophic argument, social insight and the genius for narrative, for the concrete particular, distinctive of Sartre.'-George Steiner
A fascinating and intriguing work providing a full-blown metaphysic backed by, and at the same time providing the basis for, a complete theory of man-Times Literary Supplement
