Existentialism Is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre

4.0

Easy to read, easy to unpack, a lot of Sartre's concepts and arguments still hold water though today's philosophical, social climate is remarkably different. The book ages well and is a good 'starter' for understanding existentialism. I'd say Sartre's rebuttals to accusations and attacks on existentialism are somewhat pliant, though they do 'work' existentialism isn't a miserable apathetic belief system, however it certainly can be, the edicts of freedom of will and self construction allow for any number of forms in which personal development may manifest.
