In the centenary of his birth, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) remains one of the most relevant thinkers of the 20th century. Mercè Rius invites us to access his work directly, carrying out a personal reading from a conception of writing that puts literary resources at the service of the idea. This book proposes a review of certain topics about his work, such as the erroneous extrapolation of a political reading to 'Being and Nothingness'.
Sartrean existentialism offers us a philosophy of consciousness that defends the freedom of the individual above all else, without dispensing with its psychological and biological conditioning factors. In an era that faces the moral conflicts derived from the use of biotechnologies, this book measures the scope of Sartrean humanism, delving into the paradox between 'Existentialism is a Humanism' and the corollary of his capital work: 'Man is a useless passion'.
