Being and Nothingness is without doubt one of the most significant books of the twentieth century. The central work by one of the world's most influential thinkers, it altered the course of western philosophy. Its revolutionary approach challenged all previous assumptions about the individual's relationship with the world. Known as 'the Bible of existentialism', its impact on culture and literature was immediate and was felt worldwide, from the absurd drama of Samuel Beckett to the soul-searching cries of the Beat poets.
Being and Nothingness is one of those rare books whose influence has affected the mind-set of subsequent generations. Sixty years after its first publication, its message remains as potent as ever - challenging the reader to confront the fundamental dilemmas of human freedom, responsibility and action. 无与伦比无疑是二十世纪重要的书籍之一。世界上有影响力的思想家之一的中心工作，改变了西方哲学的进程。它的革命方法挑战了以前关于个人与世界关系的所有假设。它被称为“存在主义的圣经”，它对文化和文学的影响是直接的，并且从世界范围内感受到，从贝克特的荒诞戏剧到垮掉的诗人的灵魂探索的呐喊。 “存在与虚无”是那些影响后世思想的善本之一。在其首次出版60年之后，它的信息依然如此强烈 - 挑战读者面对人类自由，责任和行动的根本困境。

精彩书评

Jean-Paul Sartre, the seminal smarty-pants of mid-century thinking, launched the existentialist fleet with the publication of Being and Nothingness in 1943. Though the book is thick, dense, and unfriendly to careless readers, it is indispensable to those interested in the philosophy of consciousness and free will. Some of his arguments are fallacious, others are unclear, but for the most part Sartre's thoughts penetrate deeply into fundamental philosophical territory. Basing his conception of self-consciousness loosely on Heidegger's "being," Sartre proceeds to sharply delineate between conscious actions ("for themselves") and unconscious ("in themselves"). It is a conscious choice, he claims, to live one's life "authentically" and in a unified fashion, or not--this is the fundamental freedom of our lives.
Drawing on history and his own rich imagination for examples, Sartre offers compelling supplements to his more formal arguments. The waiter who detaches himself from his job-role sticks in the reader's memory with greater tenacity than the lengthy discussion of inauthentic life and serves to bring the full force of the argument to life. Even if you're not an angst-addicted poet from North Beach, Being and Nothingness offers you a deep conversation with a brilliant mind--unfortunately, a rare find these days.
--Rob Lightner Jean-Paul Sartre是本世纪中叶思想的开创性先驱之一，于1943年发表了“存在与虚无”（Being and Nothingness），创立了存在主义的舰队。虽然这本书对外行的读者来说厚重，不友善，但对于那些对此感兴趣的读者而言，这是非常经典的意识和自由意志哲学的著作。他的一些论点是荒谬的，另一些则不清楚，但萨特的思想大部分深深地渗入了哲学的基本领域。对海德格尔的“存在”进行宽松的自我意识概念，萨特继续在自觉行为（“为自己”）和无意识（“在自己”）之间进行清晰的界定。他声称，这是一个有意识的选择，“真实”地，以统一的方式生活，这是我们生活的基本自由。萨特借鉴历史和他自己丰富的想象力，为他更正式的论点提供了令人信服的补充。脱离工作岗位的服务员比读冗长的不真实生活的讨论更坚持读者的记忆，并且把争论的全部力量带到生活中。
