Existentialism Is a HumanismA fresh translation of two seminal works of existentialism "To understand Jean Paul Sartre is to understand something important about the present time."

A fresh translation of two seminal works of existentialism

"To understand Jean-Paul Sartre is to understand something important about the present time."--Iris Murdoch

"Sartre matters because so many fundamental points of his analysis of the human reality are right and true, and because their accuracy and veracity entail real consequences for our lives as individuals and in social groups."--Benedict O'Donohoe, Philosophy Now

It was to correct common misconceptions about his thought that Jean-Paul Sartre, the most dominent European intellectual of the post-World War II decades, 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 book presents a new English translation of Sartre's 1945 lecture and his analysis of Camus's The Stranger, along with a discussion of these works by acclaimed Sartre biographer Annie Cohen-Solal. This edition is a translation of the 1996 French edition, which includes Arlette Elka m-Sartre's introduction and a Q&A with Sartre about his lecture.

Love it!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Lavender/White Stripe
I am a cheapskate and try hard to find bargains, but i have no problem with paying this price for a quality piece of clothing! Loving the fit and especially the lavender color. Very classy wearing it fully buttoned or open collared. Looks and feels great!! I like this so much I bought the Aqua stripe and green stripe also!

Very solid option for comfort but the pattern of the shirt I received was off-putting
Size: Small, Color: Grey White Stripe
The shirt itself is great, sizing is spot on with an athletic tapered fit which I always prefer in a polo. The material is classic maelreg cotton feeling without the heaviness and water holding of typical cotton shirts. You can run in these polos, workout, go out to lunch or dinner, or simply sleep in these they are so comfortable. It's the patterns offered that made me return this and another I tried out. Colors are spot on with descriptions but the patters are small enough to play tricks on eyes, I received complaints from both my wife and daughter (separately) about the pattern hurting their eyes hence the 4 star instead of 5. Others may love the patter but know that it isn't as universally pleasing as more other shirts offered by this brand

Looks decent, doesn’t cook me in summer
Size: Medium, Color: Grey White Stripe
Bought this mainly as another golf shirt and wasn’t expecting much. Material is lightweight and comfortable enough during warmer days. Fit was pretty close to expected sizing. Sometimes inexpensive golf shirts end up feeling stiff or cheap after washing. This one has held up fine so far. Good everyday option.
