First published in 1939, a few years before his most influential works in theatre and philosophy, The Wall was Sartre's first and only collection of short fiction.

An examination of the concepts of nothingness and freedom, both of which are derived from the ability of consciousness to imagine objects both as they are and as they are not - ideas that would drive Sartre's existentialism and entire theory of human freedom.

June 1940 was the summer of defeat for the French soldiers, deserted by their officers, utterly demoralized, awaiting the Armistice. This book tells what men thought and felt and did as France fell.

Le Diable et le Bon Dieu est un drame en trois actes de Jean-Paul Sartre paru et représenté la première fois à Paris au Théâtre Antoine (direction Simone Berriau) le 7 juin 1951, dans une mise en scène de Louis Jouvet. Cette pièce, comme le laisse prévoir le titre, traite de la nature humaine, de Dieu et du Diable, et de la question " Le Bien est-il possible ? " (Gœtz à Heinrich dans le dixième tableau). La pièce se déroule dans l'Allemagne du xvie siècle, lors de la révolte des paysans contre l'Église.

Hvilken betydning har følelserne? I hvilken forstand hører de med til en menneskelig eksistens? Det er sådanne spørgsmål, den franske filosof Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) stiller i denne bog.Sartre argumenterer for en ’fænomenologisk’ psykologi som alternativ til den traditionelle psykologi. I denne argumentation præsenteres vi for centrale fænomenologiske begreber som ’bevidsthed’ og ’verden’. Hvad følelsen ’betyder’ er den menneskelige tilværelse som en væren-i-verden. For Sartre er ’følelsernes verden’ en magisk verden, der ligner drømmens, men den er samtidig en måde at opdage verden på. Paradoksalt nok viser det sig, at mennesket har en frihed over for verden, selv om det måske kun er en frihed til at unddrage sig.Denne lille bog udkom oprindeligt i 1939 og foregriber på flere måder Sartres første filosofiske hovedværk Væren og intet fra 1943.Skitse til en teori om følelserne udkom for første gang på dansk i 1969 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

Da den franske filosof Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) i 1943 udgav sit eksistentialistiskehovedværk Væren og Intet, stillede han en nærmere redegørelse for moralfilosofieni udsigt. Selv om han arbejdede alvorligt på projektet 1945-48, måtte hanopgive at give det en endelig form. Vanskelighederne lå i at forene den eksistentielleforestilling om frihed, autonomi og valg med en etik, der var almen og gik forudfor den enkelte eksistens.Efter Sartres død udkom imidlertid de gamle Hæfter til en moral, og nærværendeEtik – hæfter til en moral giver et fyldigt uddrag, der viser Sartres optagethed affrihedsbegrebet og hans forsøg på at udmønte en etik, der ikke byder på vold ogbeherskelse, men åbner for generøsitet og spontan imødekommelse af den anden.Det Gode opstår i mødet med den anden.Etik – hæfter til en moral udkom første gang på dansk i 1995 og Peter Kemp harskrevet forord. Bogen genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels forlags serie Klassikere.

A classic work by the founding father of existentialism, describing his philosophy and its relationship to Marxism.

"Everyone is free here. . . . The cities are open. They are open to the world and to the future. That is what gives them all an air of adventure; and . . . a kind of touching beauty." So wrote the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre on a 1945 trip to the United States during which he crossed the country and dove deep into the soul of the American city. In this new volume, Sartre's reflections on the distinctly American quality of cities in the United States are accompanied by Pedro Meyer's photographs of American cities, offering similarly sharp insights, but through a different historical lens: that of the late eighties and early nineties. Together, the photographs and essays articulate the enduring essence of American urban existence--its relationship with time, with labor and humanity, and with the open spaces emblematic of America.

A new trade edition of Sartre's magnum opus. First published in 1943, this masterpiece defines the modern condition and still holds relevance for today's readers.
