Features: This book conducts meticulous research on the subject at an academic level. The structure of the book is simple and clear. The "Introduction" defines the research domain. Chapter 1 begins by discussing the meanings of three important terms: existence represents the unified real world of individual existence; being is the indispensable transcendental condition required by existence, which is plural; the existence of others refers to "the existence of others." Clarifying the relationship among the three is the prerequisite for entering Sartre's ontology. Chapters 2 and 3 are the upper and lower parts of the exposition of Sartre's ontological thought, which correspond exactly to the early and later phases of Sartre's philosophical thought. As mentioned earlier, Sartre's early discussions focus on individual freedom, while his later discussions focus on the relationship between the individual and society. Chapter 4 discusses Sartre's critiques of Husserl and Heidegger. Even without introducing the specific content, we can broadly understand the topics and approach of Sartre's philosophy.
