Being and Nothingness – Jean-Paul Sartre

Being and Nothingness by Jean-Paul Sartre

Being and Nothingness is Jean-Paul Sartre’s monumental work and one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 20th century. Often called “the Bible of existentialism,” this groundbreaking book reshaped modern thought by challenging traditional ideas about consciousness, identity, freedom, and the human relationship with the world. Sartre explores what it means to exist, to choose, and to bear responsibility for one’s actions—ideas that reverberated through literature, drama, psychology, politics, and global culture. From the theatre of Samuel Beckett to the writings of the Beat Generation, its impact has been profound and enduring. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
