I honestly believe that not even Sartre could explain some of these passages. In other words, I think they are pure nonsense. But he has written a complete philosophical system, such as it is, and that is worthy of reading. Just keep in mind the extreme difficulty. I would recommend reading his novel Nausea. It's far more interesting. But I give this five stars because it is in parts quite brilliant. And it is a necessary for any amateur philosopher.

600 pages of sheer genius. Sartre wrote this inside a cafe?!? The existential epoch written for modern man. The power of the argument makes Sartre one of the greatest beings-in-the-world ever to think. Sartre makes thinking thinking again. But, can you handle the message or will you take flight from freedom?
