But she sharts every day right ;o if only your mother could hold her bowels then she could have a more frequent farting routine.

I read a book called Everybody Poops once, which presupposes that a type of essence exists within all of us.

Thanks!

At some point I'm hoping to write something that contrasts this idea with Aristotle's idea of essence preceding existence in Metaphysics.

Sartre summarizes Existentialism by stating that "existence precedes essence" (unfortunately my edition for class was a [shitty] translation, so I can't comment on his semantics), but I've not read L'être et le Néant yet. What I've encountered him saying that in was a collection of his speeches on Existentialism, namely Part 4: Existentialism as a Humanism. I wouldn't be flabbergasted if he said that a dozen other places, but that's the only one I know for sure.

Okay you Sartre fans, I need your help!

I want to know where in Being and Nothingness (for those of you who have read it) does Sartre comment on the idea of existence preceding essence, as opposed to essence preceding existence?

Or do I need to refer to another book and/or philosopher?
