L’Être et le Néant: Essai d’ontologie phénoménologique

by 尚－保羅．沙特 ...

Translated by 陳宣良, 杜小真 ...

Series series 左岸經典
沒有一種存在不是以某種存在的方式存在，沒有一種存在不是透過既顯露存在、又掩蓋存在這樣的存在方式被把握的。然而，意識永遠能夠超越存在物，但不是走向存在物的存在，而是走向這存在的意義。近代思想把存在物還原為一系列顯露存在物的顯象，這是很大的進步。這麼做的目的是試圖以現象的一元論，取代某些使哲學家陷入困境的二元論。這種嘗試成功了嗎？存在存在。存在是自在的。存在是其所是。沙特在初步考察存在現象之後，給予現象的存在這三個特點，並進一步從「顯現」出發，提出兩種類型的存在：自在和自為。這兩種存在的深刻涵義是什麼？為什麼這兩種存在都屬於一般的存在？這種自身中包含著截然分立的存在領域的存在，其意義為何？如果唯心主義和實在論都無法解釋那些無法溝通的領域的關係，我們能夠提出別的解決辦法嗎？現象的存在怎麼能是超現象的呢？正是為了回答這些問題，於是有了這本書。□本書譯自1981年Gallimard書店出版之法文版。 ...
