Sartre : reading is FREEDOM

books, reading,
art, beauty, calling, universal law and FREEDOM!
here’s one of my favourite excerpts from Sartre’s « qu’est-ce la littérature? » ft. Kant

at the end i was really surprised at how much went into arriving at the conclusion. i hope you found it as rewarding as i did.
but as always, happy to fight it out in the comments (only requirement is some reflection before you post)

dedicated to that one person who voted : « i get it mais quand même! »

aff links to refs:
(all french, cause on amazon.fr, all the eng versions are looking like amazon kdp-ers making their own personal copies for quick $)

but
« qu’est-ce que la littérature? » Sartre
What is literature?


« fondements de la métaphysique des moeurs » Kant
Grounding for the Metaphysiques of Morals


« critique de la raison pratique » Kant
Critique of practical reason


et
« critique de la faculté de juger » Kant.

gute Nacht!
