Wisdom of Sartre

By: The Wisdom Series

Narrated by: Michael Goldstrom

The Wisdom of Sartre offers key excerpts from the eloquent French writer, playwright, and philosopher’s masterpiece, Being and Nothingness. From this collection, listeners will discover the strongest themes in his early philosophical work: an ontological account of what it means to be human, and the role of perception, knowledge, and consciousness in the practical demands of life. Sartre’s view that man’s freedom is a unique source of both misery and pleasure and that the question of which will prevail depends on man’s awareness and commitment to his freedom is both thought provoking and timely.

Concise Overview of Sartre's Phenomenology

This is smal but representative sample of Sartre's work in phenomenology. It would be nice if Audible had full texts of Sartre's longer philosophical works, but this is a good start to giving the listener a concise overview of Sartre's work through Being and Nothingness.
