A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, \u003cem\u003eBeing and Nothingness\u003c\/em\u003e explores what gives our lives significance. In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterised by freedom and the inescapability of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFar from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. Now with a new foreword by Harvard professor of philosophy Richard Moran, this clear-eyed translation guarantees that the groundbreaking ideas Sartre introduced in this resonant work will continue to inspire for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47642796228844,"sku":"9781982105457","price":64.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781982105457-being-and-nothingness.jpg?v=1779157896","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/being-and-nothingness-by-jean-paul-sartre-9781982105457","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
