This seminal philosophical work presents a concise and powerful defense of existentialism, arguing that existence precedes essence and placing profound emphasis on human freedom and the weighty responsibility that accompanies it. It instructs readers on the core tenets of a philosophy that asserts individuals are condemned to be free, shaping their own values and meaning in a world devoid of inherent purpose. The text illustrates how this radical freedom necessitates constant choice and action, compelling each person to define themselves through their deeds. A foundational text in 20th-century thought, it challenges conventional notions of morality and human nature, offering a compelling framework for understanding the human condition. This influential essay continues to provoke contemplation on authenticity, anguish, and the search for meaning in a secular age.
