Olemus ja ei mikään suomalainen?

After the first section it gets a lot easier. There is also a fine chapter on sexuality.

I freely admit that Existentialism is a Humanism (http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/sartre/works/exist/sartre.htm) is the only piece by Sartre I have ever read, but I feel it is absolutely brilliant.

Anyone know how it compares to some of his other works?

All I know is that some people tried to kill Sartre with bombs. He survived....

Sartre didn't make it into Monty Python's "Bruce's Philosopher's Song," so he couldn't have been that good.

I'd like to jump in this thread eventually, but just can say at the moment that Dirty Hands and The Flies are two of the finest plays written in the 20th century. They are as brilliant as No Exit is overrated.

Isn't Sartre the guy who said there was no such thing as human nature? I always thought that was ridiculous. But then, I am not a philosopher.

He said "existence precedes essence". Basically the same thing.

[Atlas]

From some Existential webpage, somewhere with Sartre...

Existentialism maintains that in man, and in man alone, existence preceded essence.

Now, reverse this for all other objects and Sartre's view of the universe is clear: essence precedes existence for all objects; they have meaning then form.

In the case of this thread, they mean being as opposed to nothingness.

"l'enfer, c'est les autres!" (Sartre). Thoughts on this?
