HW12 due 10/14: Jean Paul Sartre

October 10, 2014 By

1. Jean Paul Sartre–Print out and read the following sections on Sartre’s philosophy: Ontology, Psychology, and Ethics.  Among other things pay particular attention to the Being-in-itself and Being-for-itself. We begin Nausea at the end of this week.  This novel is quite challenging to wrap your head around and simply cannot be understood without understanding the concepts above.  Further, revisit Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and specifically the concepts of will and representation.

2. Nausea–If you can purchase a copy of Nausea by the end of the week, please do so.
