Omg, teach me more. Have you read Being and Nothingness by Sartre?
How did you know to ask this question brehette? I'm legit freaked out , this is one of the first philosophy books I read back when I was 16. I don't recall much of it, except for his differentiation of the essence of man and the essence of things (he used chair and stone as an example, that much I remember).
It's a book I'll eventually have to go back to because I couldn't quite handle the concepts he spoke of, but now I've got the tools to view his work with the proper the philosophical methods.
The one thing I remember from the book was trying to understand the idea of objects just simply "being". Being En-soi (french for in-itself) and Being pour-soi (french for for-itself). To say the book was hard to swallow would be an understatement. I now wonder if the book is as hard as Hegel's phenomenology of spirit ...probably not. Thankfully it's a small book, so I don't mind going back to it. I gotta read Foucault too anyway, I've been slacking on the french philosophers.
You like philosophy though?
