RE: Rare Book of the Day – Being and Nothingness, Jean-Paul Sartre. First American Edition.

in #philosophy7 years ago

Interesting that it took them so many years to have it published in the US. Perhaps because existentialism was quite unknown there? Or perhaps because although it's a great book, also pretty inaccessible and not per se very well written. (Personal opinion, of course)

Sort:  

That's a good question. Perhaps also due to the difficulty of translating Sartre's French?
