On the standard reading, Sartre's most fundamental and attractive idea is freedom: he wished to demonstrate the existence of human\u003cbr\u003efreedom, 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\u003cbr\u003escholars 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, \u003cbr\u003eexegetical, and conceptual methods, Kirkpatrick demonstrates that Sartre's intellectual formation prior to his discovery of phenomenology included theological elements-especially concerning the compatibility of freedom with sin and grace. \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\u003cbr\u003eresemble 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Kirkpatrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198848868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39932119711859,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_88e1e182-4459-425a-b777-a31e786431ac.jpg?v=1647790587","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/sartre-on-sin-between-being-and-nothingness-9780198848868","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
