沙特

Sartre, Jean-Paul

法国哲学家、小说家和戏剧作家,也是存在主义的先驱。他曾在索邦大学学习,并在那里遇见了他的终生伴侣和学术上的合作者波娃。第一本小说《恶心》(1938)表达了一个年轻人在遇到存在的问题时表现出的反感。《在密室里》(1944,不存在)成为了他的几部戏剧中最受欢迎的一部。在《存在与虚无》(1943)中,他将人类的意识或空洞摆在了存在或物质的对立面上。意识是非物质的,因此可以逃脱所有先在决定的控制。他在其论文《存在主义和人道主义》(1946)中形成了战後存在主义的原型。他还对胡塞尔现象学进行了研究,并在应用在《想像力》(1936)、《情绪理论大纲》(1939)和《想像力的现象心理学》(1940)等书中。他後来还在《辩证理性批判》(1960)中研究了马克思主义。他晚年的作品包括一部自传《话语》和伟大的巨着《福楼拜》(4卷,1971~1972)。他是法国左翼党的一名中心成员,反对越战并支援1968年的革命。1964年拒绝接受诺贝尔文学奖。

Sartre, Jean-Paul

French philosopher, novelist, and playwright, the foremost exponent of existentialism. He studied at the Sorbonne, where he met Simone de Beauvoir, his lifelong companion and intellectual collaborator. His first novel, Nausea (1938), narrates the feeling of revulsion that a young man undergoes when confronted with the contingency of existence. Huis-clos (1944, No Exit) became the most widely celebrated of his several plays. In Being and Nothingness (1943) he places human consciousness, or nothingness (néant), in opposition to being, or thingness (être); consciousness is nonmatter and thus escapes all determinism. With his treatise Existentialism and Humanism (1946), these works formed the foundations of postwar existentialism. He learned the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and used it in Imagination (1936), Sketch for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), and The Psychology of Imagination (1940), and he later examined Marxism in Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960). His final works included an autobiography, The Words (1963), and the huge study Flaubert (4 vols., 1971-72). A central figure of the French left, he opposed the Vietnam War and supported the 1968 revolutionaries. He declined the 1964 Nobel Prize for Literature.
