β¦ Synopsis
Further developing themes laid out in earlier works, specifically truth and ignorance as it relates to Being. The prose is dense at times, and you can tell in many places that this book was published unfinished-once in a while the ideas meander or are not clearly defined. Nevertheless, I found it to be a highly interesting read containing ideas that are both philosophically intriguing and personally relevant. A companion piece to Baing and Nothingness.
I don't speak French so I cannot personally evaluate the translation job, but the English here flows well enough. Highly recommended.
