O Sartre disse que este é o único de que ele se arrependeu de escrever... Eu gostei though!

"El hombre está condenado a ser libre."

Éste libro de hecho lo tuve que haber leído para una clase hace casi tres años. En ese tiempo apenas y pude entrar diez páginas antes de abandonarlo. Eso es lo bueno de que siempre le haya querido volver a visitar, ahora que estoy más maduro y entiendo mucho mejor de lo que habla Sartre, lo encontré muy fascinante.

No comparto la filosofía ni la práctica porque me gusta excusarme en mi contexto para mis decisiones. Muy interesante teoría que ayuda a replantear varios conceptos.

An acclaimed yet simple response to Judeo-Christian religious traditions that impose/suppose ideas of absence of being/essence inherent to humanity without an idealized version of (their) “God”.

“Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view.”

“Existence precedes essence”

However, I will say that Sartre’s writings on inter-subjectivity could be misapprehended (by even secularists themselves) to the detriment of human/civil rights advancements.
His writings on freedom as that which ought to be willed in community are remarkable though.

Good stuff!

I have little experience with philosophy as a whole but felt this was a good introduction to Existentialism. Pretty easy to digest and leaves you wanting to dive deeper. I read online that Sartre later rejected some of his views in this work so I'm interested in reading his later work and finding out which ones changed and why.

The lecture itself would easily be five stars. While still being very challenging, Sartre remains coherent and expresses himself at a level where even a layman like me can follow along. That’s not to say that he uses simple language- not in the slightest - only well explained.

The introduction to this book (by the person who performed the translation) was very close to unreadable for me; the language used assumed way too much knowledge of philosophical terms for a lecture that was created to popularise a topic.

There’s also a degree of arrogance to put a 20 page introduction of your own in a 100 page book.

“Certainly, many people think that in what they are doing they commit no one but themselves to anything: and if you ask them, “What would happen if everyone did so?” they shrug their shoulders and reply, “Everyone does not do so.” But in truth, one ought always to ask oneself what would happen if everyone did as one is doing; nor can one escape from that disturbing thought except by a kind of self-deception. The man who lies in self-excuse, by saying “Everyone will not do it” must be ill at ease in his conscience, for the act of lying implies the universal value which it denies. By its very disguise his anguish reveals itself. This is the anguish that Kierkegaard called “the anguish of Abraham.” “
