«El existencialismo es un humanismo» is the philosophical essay by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Santillana in 1996 in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
Sartre defends existentialism against accusations of pessimism and subjectivism: he argues that existence precedes essence, that there is no given human nature, and that each person is defined by their actions. The human being is free and responsible, and their decisions commit others. Existentialism is presented as a humanism.
This 1996 edition belongs to the Filosofía Hoy collection and includes translation, study, and notes by Miguel Corella Losada and Francisco Caballero Quemades.
Useful for Philosophy students and for those approaching existentialism for the first time.
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism. His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."
