Existentialism and Human Emotion (A Philosophical Library Book)

In this provocative philosophical analysis, Jean-Paul Sartre refutes the idea that existentialism drains meaning from human life, by claiming that the philosophy instead gives man total freedom to achieve his own significance

Sartreâ‚¬s Existentialism and Human Emotions is a stirring defense of existentialist thought, which argues that â‚¬Å“existence precedes essence.â‚¬Â While attacks on existentialism claim that the philosophy leads to a kind of nihilistic gloom, Sartre contends that instead existentialism is the only path toward giving man meaning. Sartre ultimately argues that by the very absence of â‚¬Å“a priori meaning,â‚¬Â an individual can discover and shape his or her own significance and place in the world.
Â
Sartre turns the typical nihilistic definition of existentialism on its head in this optimistic take on his best-known theory.
