About the book >.>.> 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.
