«Existentialism and Human Emotion» is the philosophical essay by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Citadel Press in paperback (96 pages, in English).
Essay in which Jean-Paul Sartre defends existentialism against those who accuse it of leaving life meaningless: with no pre-set human nature or external values, each individual chooses their values and constructs themselves. Freedom of choice makes the individual responsible for their actions and gives meaning to a universe without inherent purpose.
Published in 1987, it is a reissue of the A Philosophical Library Book collection.
For philosophy readers interested in existentialism and in a brief exposition of Sartre's thought.
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."
