On the standard reading, Sartre's most fundamental and attractive idea is freedom: he wished to demonstrate the existence of human freedom, and did so by connecting consciousness with nothingness. Focusing on \u003cem\u003eBeing and Nothingness\u003c\/em\u003e, Kate Kirkpatrick demonstrates that Sartre's concept of nothingness (\u003cem\u003ele neant\u003c\/em\u003e) has a Christian genealogy which has been overlooked in philosophical and theological discussions of his work. Previous scholars have noted the resemblance between Sartre's and Augustine's ontologies: to name but one shared theme, both thinkers describe the human as the being through which nothingness enters the world. However, there has been no previous in-depth examination of this 'resemblance'. Using historical, exegetical, and conceptual methods, Kirkpatrick demonstrates that Sartre's intellectual formation prior\u003cbr\u003eto his discovery of phenomenology included theological elements-especially concerning the compatibility of freedom with sin and grace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter outlining the French Augustinianisms by which Sartre's account of the human as 'between being and nothingness' was informed, Kirkpatrick offers a close reading of \u003cem\u003eBeing and Nothingness\u003c\/em\u003e which shows that the psychological, epistemological, and ethical consequences of Sartre's le neant closely resemble the consequences of its theological predecessor; and that his account of freedom can be read as an anti-theodicy. Sartre on Sin illustrates that Sartre' s insights are valuable resources for contemporary hamartiology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate Kirkpatrick, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in Philosophy, University of Hertfordshire and Lecturer in Theology, St Peter's College, Oxford\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKate Kirkpatrick is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Hertfordshire and Lecturer in Theology at St Peter's College, Oxford. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 10.9 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753966436640,"sku":"9780198848868","price":78.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7228b852cf328a44f6071f76a6c97b8c.webp?v=1780030475","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/sartre-on-sin-between-being-and-nothingness-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
