Existentialism and Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre, P. Mairet
3.0

This book gives a good general summary of Sartre's basic beliefs. The text, however, is marred by a few frustrating contradictions and imprecise language that are both undoubtably caused inadvertently by Sartre's attempt to break down his complex philosophical ideas into simplified terminology for the laity. It is a decent read nonetheless, especially for those who want an accessible introduction to existentialism or twentieth-century thought.
