Colecção Universalia, #3 "Pelo vigor da exposição, pela ousadia e pertinência das teses defendidas, foi este breve ensaio, intitulado La Trancendence de l’Ego, escrito em 1934 e publicado em 1936, que impos imediatamente Sartre como uma das figuras de primeira grandeza do movimento fenomenológico. Publica-se esta obra pela primeira vez em Português, juntamente com a conferência «Conscience de soi et connaissance de soi»."
Author
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre, normally known simply as Jean-Paul Sartre, was a French existentialist philosopher and pioneer, dramatist and screenwriter, novelist and critic. He was a leading figure in 20th century French philosophy. He declined the award of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his work which, rich in ideas and filled with the spirit of freedom and the quest for truth, has exerted a far-reaching influence on our age." In the years around the time of his death, however, existentialism declined in French philosophy and was overtaken by structuralism, represented by Levi-Strauss and, one of Sartre's detractors, Michel Foucault.
