The Transcendence of the Ego: An Existentialist Theory of Consciousness
First published in France in 1937, this important essay marked a turning point in Sartre's philosophical development. Here, however, Sartre attacked Husserl's notion of a transcendental ego. Before writing it, he had been closely allied with phenomenologists such as Husserl and Heidegger.
This student-friendly edition of "The Transcendence of the Ego" also includes an introduction and notes/annotations by the translators. The break with Husserl, in turn, facilitated Sartre's transition from phenomenology to the existentialist doctrines of his masterwork, "Being and Nothingness," which was completed a few years later while the author was a prisoner of war.
