The Transcendence of the Ego

In 'The Transcendence of the Ego,' Jean-Paul Sartre challenges the traditional view of the self, arguing that consciousness is not a fixed essence but a fluid, transient experience. He posits that the ego is a construct, rather than an inherent identity, and examines how this perspective influences our perception of reality and interpersonal relationships.Why You Should Read?
