Existentialism is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre remains one of the most influential introductions to modern philosophy. Delivered as a lecture in 1945, Sartre’s essay defends existentialism as a philosophy of freedom, responsibility, and human dignity. He argues that human beings have no predetermined essence — that we become who we are through our own choices and actions.
Sartre explains that with radical freedom comes moral responsibility, as our actions define not only ourselves but all of humanity. Written with remarkable clarity, this text captures the spirit of post-war intellectual life and the enduring questions of meaning and morality. This 2026 edition from Anubhav Publishers and Distributors is ideal for students, philosophers, and readers seeking a lucid gateway into existential thought.
