Sartre on Nothingness (Part Two)

Update: 2024-11-14

Description

We continue reading Part One of Being and Nothingness, with ch. 2, "Negations." We get some context and then jump into the classic question of whether existence in itself is just pure being, such that nothingness is just a result of human judgments on it, or whether nothingness is something objective that we grasp. We end by introducing the famous "absent Pierre in the café" example.

Read along with us, starting on p. 36, i.e. PDF p. 87.
