Question:

Why do you think that Sartre wrote Being and Nothingness?

What is the point of this tome?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It was how he felt and what he had to say about it, but if you think that's bad; try reading Camus, especially The Myth of Sisyphus, in the original French. It's been years since I majored in French at University, but the thought of that and then having to discuss it, in French, still paralyzes me.
