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.

萨特对于存在主义的立场基础建立在对于Determinism的强烈抗拒。证伪的过程与任何其他Constructivism都是一样的。不过萨特是在C里最喜欢的一个流派，也是做选择时我会情不自禁偏向的一个选项

美本教材。萨特有点像康德，也有点像斯多葛。

这本比Being and Nothingness要accessible得多，后者又比Being and Time好多了。Heidegger的文字，特别是经Macquarrie翻译之后，近乎天书。

essay指定参考材料，第一次读萨特呢，因为是讲稿，所以比起他手写的著作好读很多，有非常多的例子去讲解他的思想。对他radical freedom还是觉得诡辩（你可以有自杀的自由），但写essay的过程还是蛮享受，一是反复读了好多遍他的措辞，复述和重建他的逻辑链对了解他的思想很有帮助，二是好好梳理了自己最近对工作上烦恼的思考。这几年真的觉得我人文社科的综合能力在退化，读难一点的材料锻炼一下脑子（
