The renowned French philosopher lays the foundation for an
Existentialist approach to psychology and aesthetics in this pair of
classic works. In The Emotions: Outline of a Theory, Jean-Paul
Sartre explores the role of emotions in the human psyche, presenting a
phenomenological approach to psychology. Analyzing the universal, yet
subjective, experiences of fear, lust, anguish, and melancholy, Sartre
asserts that human beings develop their emotional capabilities from a
very early age, which helps them identify and understand the names and
qualities of their feelings later in life. Essays in Aesthetics is
a provocative collection that explores the nature of art and its
meaning. Sartre considers the artist’s “function,” and the
relation between art and the human condition. Engaging with the works
of Tintoretto, Calder, Lapoujade, Titian, Raphael, and Michaelangelo,
Sartre offers a fascinating analysis of the creative process. The
result is a vibrant manifesto of existentialist aesthetics.
