«El ser y la nada» is the existentialist philosophy essay by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Altaya in paperback (646 pages, in Spanish).
Jean-Paul Sartre's essay, published in 1943, defends the central thesis of existentialism: existence precedes essence; there is no fixed human nature and each person is defined by their choices and actions. Drawing on phenomenology and ontology, it analyses consciousness, anguish, bad faith and the relationship with others through the gaze of the other.
The work originally appeared in French under the title «L’être et le néant»; this Altaya edition is part of the Grandes Obras del Pensamiento collection.
For readers interested in philosophy who want to approach existentialism from its source; reading it requires attention and effort.
