The Transcendence of the Ego: An Existentialist Theory of Consciousness
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 also includes an introduction and notes/annotations by the translators. .

Existentialists and Mystics: Writings on Philosophy and Literature
Best known as the author of twenty-six novels, Iris Murdoch has also made significant contributions to the fields of ethics and aesthetics Collected here for the first time in one volume are her most influential literary and philosophical essays. Tracing Murdoch's journey to a modern Platonism, this volume includes incisive evaluations of the thought and writings of T. S. Eliot, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvior, and Elias Canetti, as well as key texts on the continuing importance of the sublime, on the concept of love, and the role great literature can play in curing the ills of philosophy. Existentialists and Mystics not only illuminates the mysticism and intellectual underpinnings of Murdoch's novels, but confirms her major contributions to twentieth-century thought. "These essays, even more than the novels, changed me and the way I looked at the world." --A. S. Byatt "At a time when much academic philosophy is hopelessly arcane, morally bankrupt, and barbarously written . . . Murdoch has provided a lucid and compelling counterexample." -- The Wall Street Journal"One of Murdoch's most valuable books." -- San Francisco Chronicle.

THE OPTIMISTIC EXISTENTIALIST
Richard Campagna has, in this book, edited, up-dated and re-titled his first novel, first written when he was 17 years of age, for the purpose of demonstrating how an optimistic, existentialist, libertarian and spiritual outlook on life is somehow essential and intrinsic to the human experience, throughout the life span. Perhaps, surmises Campagna: "as we get older, we all just simply get a little better at rolling with life's punches.............." Campagna currently tours the country (and the world) giving seminars on existentialism and providing personal, professional and college/career counsel. He is currently working on his next book, "Existentialism and Personal, Professional and Political Freedom." ~~~~~~~~~~~~1stWorld Publishing.

Sartre, Foucault, and Historical Reason, Volume One: Toward an Existentialist Theory of History (Sartre, Foucault & Reason in History)
Sartre and Foucault were two of the most prominent and at times mutually antagonistic philosophical figures of the twentieth century. And nowhere are the antithetical natures of their existentialist and poststructuralist philosophies more apparent than in their disparate approaches to historical understanding.
A history, thought Foucault, should be a kind of map, a comparative charting of structural transformations and displacements. But for Sartre, authentic historical understanding demanded a much more personal and committed narrative, a kind of interpretive diary of moral choices and risks compelled by critical necessity and an exacting reality. Sartre's history, a rational history of individual lives and their intrinsic social worlds, was in essence immersed in biography.
In Volume One of this authoritative two-volume work, Thomas R. Flynn conducts a pivotal and comprehensive reconstruction of Sartrean historical theory, and provocatively anticipates the Foucauldian counterpoint to come in Volume Two.
