Old Aug 16th, 2007, 02:03 PM        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?

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.

Thanks!

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

Warriors gather slowly round the sacred city hell
Satan screams a vengeance on the land his angels fell
Tyrants pray disaster for the land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn the Canada into dust....

I'm reading The Stranger in French right now, since someone threw away my copy of Myth of Sisyphus.

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