Status Updates From Das Sein und das Nichts. Ve...

From reading this the last year, I’ve learned, behind the obscure language, the ideas here are deceptively simple. Sartre’s bottom line is that “existence precedes essence”, meaning that a human being cannot be defined by any one action (or many actions), or any moment in time or supposed essential nature, but rather a human life is a continuous process of creation and recreation. Which I find inspiring.

Will I actually finish this book? At this rate it’s looking like maybe by 2030.

I’d love to say that I’ve made my way through this but, genuinely, what a garble of gooble. laughed several times at the loops and hoops he was jumping through, somewhat circus like. Anyway, great title.
