Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-19 00:00:00 Francisco Javier Herranz Sanchez 020219 from ??? (2000s): if you want an introductory sartre text this is it- while he is figuring it out he writes it out. sort of like a precursor to being and nothingness. he is an excellent writer, i think his rhetorical skill serves his ideas rather than obscures, he is the easiest existentialist to read...

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-14 00:00:00 Stefano Boych In psychology, Sartre is sure different than the "old shaman" Jung. Being the atheistic existentialist, Sartre doesn't think we can transcend projection. In fact, since all is subjective we can only know each other through projecting ourselves onto each other. "When will the beloved become in turn the lover? The answer is easy: when the beloved projects being loved." Actually, that quote is from Being and Nothingness. Sartre has a lot of profound things to say about love. And yet, if love is nothing more than projecting ourselves onto the other, there can be no mystical connection. Interesting book, though, "The Imaginary..." Easier to find this book under the title, "The Psychology of the Imagination."
