Other early philosophical writings by Sartre include an account of the emotions, and two short books about the imagination. Sartre’s early philosophy was highly influenced by Husserl’s phenomenology his first philosophical publication, The Transcendence of the Ego (hereafter TE), engaged in scholarly detail with Husserl’s commitment to a pure Ego, arguing that even by Husserl’s own lights this was a mistake. Because Sartre’s philosophy was fundamentally about the nature of human existence, it inflects all his writing.Īlthough Sartre is often described as a major existentialist philosopher, this label should be treated with caution, as the term ‘existentialist’ only came to be associated with Sartre after the publication of his major philosophical work, Being and Nothingness (hereafter BN) in 1943. He was also a novelist, literary critic, playwright, essayist, biographer, autobiographer, journalist, and political theorist. Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–80) is one of the best-known philosophers of the twentieth century.
