Bøker av Jean-Paul Sartre

A story of the troubled life of an introspective historian, Antoine Roquentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times - existentialism. It chronicles Antoine's struggle with the realisation that he is an entirely free agent in a world devoid of meaning.

Four seminal plays by one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. An existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play, as well as three other brilliant, thought-provoking works: the reworking of the Electra-Orestes story, the conflict of a young intellectual torn between theory and conflict, and an arresting attack on American racism.

Originally delivered as a lecture in Paris in 1945, "Existentialism and Humanism" is Sartre's seminal defence of his original doctrine of existentialism and a plan for its practical application to everyday human life.

First published in 1939, a few years before his most influential works in theatre and philosophy, The Wall was Sartre's first and only collection of short fiction.

Mathieu Delarue, a philosophy teacher, has so far managed to contain sex and personal freedom in separate compartments. But now he is in trouble, trying to raise 4,000 francs to procure a safe abortion for his mistress, Marcelle. Beyond all this, filtering an uneasy light on his predicament, rises the threat of the coming of the Second World War.

Jean-Paul Sartre was a man of staggering gifts, whose accomplishments as philosopher, novelist, playwright, biographer, and activist still command attention and inspire debate. Sartre’s restless intelligence may have found its most characteristic outlet in the open-ended form of the essay. For Sartre the essay was an essentially dramatic form, the record of an encounter, the framing of a choice. Whether writing about literature, art, politics, or his own life, he seizes our attention and drives us to grapple with the living issues that are at stake.We Have Only This Life to Live is the first gathering of Sartre’s essays in English to draw on all ten volumes of Situations, the title under which Sartre collected his essays during his life, while also featuring previously uncollected work, including the reports Sartre filed during his 1945 trip to America. Here Sartre writes about Faulkner, Bataille, Giacometti, Fanon, the liberation of France, torture in Algeria, existentialism and Marxism, friends lost and found, and much else. We Have Only This Life to Live provides an indispensable, panoramic view of the world of Jean-Paul Sartre.

An examination of the concepts of nothingness and freedom, both of which are derived from the ability of consciousness to imagine objects both as they are and as they are not - ideas that would drive Sartre's existentialism and entire theory of human freedom.

June 1940 was the summer of defeat for the French soldiers, deserted by their officers, utterly demoralized, awaiting the Armistice. This book tells what men thought and felt and did as France fell.

The Condemned of Altona is an act of judgment on the twentieth century, which might have been an admirable era (the closing lines tell us) if man had not been threatened by 'the cruel enemy who had sworn to destroy him, that hairless, evil, flesh-eating beast-man himself. 'All the characters in the play are defendants, trapped inside the frame of the proscenium as securely as Eichmann within his glass cage in Jerusalem; their judge is the past, and its verdict is without mercy. Two death penalties are imposed, and one sentence of solitary confinement for life. The stage, as so often in M. Sartre's hands, becomes a place of moral inquisition, at once a courtroom and a prison.

Romanen følger opp Skjels år og alder og er annet bind i Sartres filosofiske romanverk Frihetens veier. Vi er her kommet til året 1938, og historien om den intellektuelle pariseren Mathieu Delarue fortsetter. Romanen tar for seg den kaotiske tida før krigsutbruddet, med Munchen-forliket og ofringen av Tsjekkoslovakia. Sartre skildrer hvordan begivenhetene i en bestemt uke dette året oppleves i forskjellige miljøer, og uroen og handlingslammelsen folk opplever.

Frihetens veier (1945-49) er en uavsluttet triologi. Med den ønsket Sartre å forklare hvilke forhold som førte til krigen og hvordan de kan forstås filosofisk, psykologisk, politisk og historisk i lys av den senere utvikling. Hovedpersonen i dette første bindet er gymnaslæreren Mathieu Delaure, som lever på sin "øy" i et snevert intellektuelt Paris-miljø, mens verdenspolitikken trenger seg på med borgerkrigen i Spania. Han har på en måte frihet til å handle, men kan ikke. Mot ham står den naivt-optimistiske kommunisten Brunet, som ikke ser konsekvensene av sine valg.

Hva vil det si å eksistere? Hva er frihet? Sartre svarer på disse og flere spørsmål i denne klassikeren fra 1946.En gjennomgang av grunntankene i den moderne eksistensfilosofi.Oversatt av Carl Hambro.Nr. 13 i Cappelens upopulære skrifter.
