Existentialism Is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism Is a Humanism is a clear and accessible introduction to existentialist philosophy. Adapted from his famous 1945 lecture, Sartre defends existentialism against its critics and explains key ideas such as freedom, responsibility, and the creation of meaning in an absurd world. Concise yet powerful, it remains one of the most influential texts of modern philosophy.
