Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence precedes essence: we are condemned to be free.
Nausea
A novel. In the lecture, he is reminded that he mocked certain humanists in it (§25). Not in our corpus.
Being and Nothingness essential
His major philosophical work, written and published by him. We only have extracts: bad faith (I, 2), freedom and responsibility (IV, 1). Unproofread French OCR; noisy English OCR (Barnes, 1956).
No Exit essential
One-act play, first staged in Paris in May 1944. These are the lines of characters (Garcin, Inès, Estelle): "hell is other people" is spoken by Garcin. We only have scene 5, from a school PDF.
The Roads to Freedom
A cycle of novels. The lecture refers to it (§17): he is reproached for showing cowardly characters in it. Not in our corpus.
Existentialism Is a Humanism essential
A lecture given on 29 October 1945, taken down in shorthand then published by Nagel in 1946. It is a spoken, popularising text, not a treatise. Our French text is an unproofread online transcription; the English is Philip Mairet's (1948). The "EH §n" numbers follow our own division.
What Is Literature? essential
Essay published in Les Temps modernes (1947) then in Situations II (1948). We only have Frechtman's English translation (1949), chapters I and II, from unproofread OCR.
Critique of Dialectical Reason
His major attempt to think freedom within history and society, in dialogue with Marxism. Not in our corpus.
