Description

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, and critic, a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and existentialism. He laid out his primary existentialist theses in L’Être et le Néant (“Being and Nothingness”, 1943) and L’existentialisme est un humanisme (“Existentialism Is a Humanism”, 1946). This world-renowned essay is being published in Belarusian for the first time.

“Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed, that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence. Man must regain himself and persuade himself that nothing can ever save him from himself, not even valid proof of existence of God.”

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
