About this title: First published in France in 1937, this important essay marked a turning point in Sartre's philosophical development. Before writing it, he had been closely allied with phenomenologists such as Husserl and Heidegger. Here, however, Sartre attacked Husserl's notion of a transcendental ego. The break with Husserl, in turn, facilitated Sartre's transition from phenomenology to the existentialist doctrines of his masterwork, "Being and Nothingness," which was completed a few years later while the author was a prisoner of war. This student-friendly edition of "The Transcendence of the Ego" ...

"I loved this book. Sartre's explanation of non-positional consciousness really challenged my thought that inherent in every conscious act is an "I", which synthesizes and processes phenomenal information. I think this could be applied to Eastern philosophy quite easily."
"I have a lot of thoughts on this book, and would like to write a response that would seek to describe the way improvisation relates to "action" in the existentialist tradition. As soon as I get my thoughts straight on this subject, I'll post the writing on my blog."
"As much as it pains me to admit it, this one was over my head. I trudged through over half of it but finally decided that the little bit I was getting wasn't worth the effort of continuing. Hopefully, in a few years I'll be able to return to this and read it like it's a Harry Potter novel."
"I don't know why I read this all the way to the end. All I proved to myself is that I don't care whether things really exist or not. I also found that I don't believe that philosophers should ever use the terms "obviously" or "it follows that" because no, they don't necessarily follow at all. Whether anything objectively exists or not might be important if I didn't actually have to live in the world, but I think in reality, if I thought about that all of the time, I would get sick."
