內容簡介
Being and Nothingness is without doubt one of the most significant books of the twentieth century. The central work by one of the world's most influential thinkers, it altered the course of western philosophy. Its revolutionary approach challenged all previous assumptions about the individual's relationship with the world. Known as 'the Bible of existentialism', its impact on culture and literature was immediate and was felt worldwide, from the absurd drama of Samuel Beckett to the soul-searching cries of the Beat poets.
Being and Nothingness is one of those rare books whose influence has affected the mind-set of subsequent generations. Sixty years after its first publication, its message remains as potent as ever - challenging the reader to confront the fundamental dilemmas of human freedom, responsibility and action. 無與倫比無疑是二十世紀重要的書籍之一。 世界上有影響力的思想傢之一的中心工作,改變瞭西方哲學的進程。 它的革命方法挑戰瞭以前關於個人與世界關係的所有假設。 它被稱為“存在主義的聖經”,它對文化和文學的影響是直接的,並且從世界範圍內感受到,從貝剋特的荒誕戲劇到垮掉的詩人的靈魂探索的呐喊。 “存在與虛無”是那些影響後世思想的善本之一。 在其首次齣版60年之後,它的信息依然如此強烈 - 挑戰讀者麵對人類自由,責任和行動的根本睏境。

精彩書評
Jean-Paul Sartre, the seminal smarty-pants of mid-century thinking, launched the existentialist fleet with the publication of Being and Nothingness in 1943. Though the book is thick, dense, and unfriendly to careless readers, it is indispensable to those interested in the philosophy of consciousness and free will. Some of his arguments are fallacious, others are unclear, but for the most part Sartre's thoughts penetrate deeply into fundamental philosophical territory. Basing his conception of self-consciousness loosely on Heidegger's "being," Sartre proceeds to sharply delineate between conscious actions ("for themselves") and unconscious ("in themselves"). It is a conscious choice, he claims, to live one's life "authentically" and in a unified fashion, or not--this is the fundamental freedom of our lives.
Drawing on history and his own rich imagination for examples, Sartre offers compelling supplements to his more formal arguments. The waiter who detaches himself from his job-role sticks in the reader's memory with greater tenacity than the lengthy discussion of inauthentic life and serves to bring the full force of the argument to life. Even if you're not an angst-addicted poet from North Beach, Being and Nothingness offers you a deep conversation with a brilliant mind--unfortunately, a rare find these days.
--Rob Lightner Jean-Paul Sartre是本世紀中葉思想的開創性先驅之一,於1943年發錶瞭“存在與虛無”(Being and Nothingness),創立瞭存在主義的艦隊。雖然這本書對外行的讀者來說厚重,不友善,但對於那些對此感興趣的讀者而言,這是非常經典的意識和自由意誌哲學的著作。他的一些論點是荒謬的,另一些則不清楚,但薩特的思想大部分深深地滲入瞭哲學的基本領域。對海德格爾的“存在”進行寬鬆的自我意識概念,薩特繼續在自覺行為(“為自己”)和無意識(“在自己”)之間進行清晰的界定。他聲稱,這是一個有意識的選擇,“真實”地,以統一的方式生活,這是我們生活的基本自由。 薩特藉鑒曆史和他自己豐富的想象力,為他更正式的論點提供瞭令人信服的補充。脫離工作崗位的服務員比讀冗長的不真實生活的討論更堅持讀者的記憶,並且把爭論的全部力量帶到生活中。
