Izabrana dela 8: Filozofski spisi
Five key philosophical texts by Sartre on emotions, imagination, consciousness, the ego, and human freedom. A valuable introduction to the phenomenology and existentialism of one of the 20th century's greatest thinkers.
Philosophical Writings is a collection of five significant texts by Jean-Paul Sartre, a leading figure in existentialism and phenomenology. The book offers insight into the development of his philosophy, ranging from the exploration of consciousness and psychological phenomena to questions of freedom, responsibility, and human existence.
The collection comprises the following works:
Sketch for a Theory of the Emotions – a philosophical inquiry into emotions as the way consciousness experiences and reshapes the world.
The Imaginary – an analysis of imagination, the act of imagining, and the relationship of consciousness to objects that are not immediately present.
Existentialism Is a Humanism – Sartre’s famous exposition of the fundamental principles of existentialism, particularly the claim that existence precedes essence and that individuals shape their own lives through their choices.
A Fundamental Idea of Phenomenology – a short text dedicated to Husserl’s concept of intentionality, or the directedness of consciousness toward the world.
The Transcendence of the Ego – a treatise on the relationship between consciousness, self-awareness, and the ego, crucial for understanding Sartre’s philosophy of subjectivity.
Together, these texts provide a valuable overview of Sartre’s reflections on consciousness, imagination, emotions, freedom, and human existence.
