Before writing it, he had been closely allied with phenomenologists such as Husserl and Heidegger. Here, however, Sartre attacked Husserl's notion of a transcendental ego. The break with Husserl, in turn, facilitated Sartre's transition from phenomenology to the existentialist doctrines of his masterwork, \u003ci\u003eBeing and Nothingness\u003c\/i\u003e, which was completed a few years later while the author was a prisoner of war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis student-friendly edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Transcendence of the Ego\u003c\/i\u003e also includes an introduction and notes\/annotations by the translators.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Transcendence of the Ego, first published in France in 1937, may be regarded as a turning point in the philosophical development of Jean-Paul Sartre. Before writing this essay, Sartre had become intimately acquainted with phenomenologists such as Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. In this critically significant essay, Sartre attacked Husserl's notion of a transcendental ego. This disagreement with Husserl was profoundly important for Sartre, and it facilitated his transition from phenomenology to the doctrine of Being and Nothingness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Jean-Paul Sartre--\u003c\/b\u003enovelist, essayist, playwright, and philosopher--was France's leading existentialist.
