Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:First published in France in 1937, this important essay marked a turning point in Sartre's philosophical development.

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.
