    Jean-Paul Sartre, a towering figure in 20th-century philosophy, is perhaps best known for his development of existentialism, a school of thought that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and the creation of meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe. Sartre’s philosophy arises from the existentialist tradition but distinguishes itself through its rigorous approach to human freedom and responsibility. At the heart of Sartre's thought is the idea that human beings are condemned to be free, burdened with the constant task of making choices without any external justification or predetermined essence. 
Born in Paris in 1905, Sartre’s intellectual journey was shaped by early encounters with phenomenology and existential philosophy, especially through the works of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. However, it was his engagement with phenomenology, along with his studies in literature and politics, that laid the groundwork for his later ideas. Sartre’s major philosophical work, Being and Nothingness (1943), is considered one of the central texts of existentialist thought, where he explores the nature of existence, consciousness, and freedom in profound detail. 
Sartre’s existentialism diverges from traditional metaphysical perspectives by rejecting the notion of an intrinsic human nature or essence. For Sartre, existence precedes essence, meaning that individuals are not born with any predefined purpose or identity; instead, they must create their essence through their actions and choices. This concept places the responsibility for defining oneself squarely on the individual, leading to Sartre’s famous assertion that "man is nothing else but what he makes of himself."

    What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule. Through the philosophical dialogue between Socrates’ companions and the Eleatic Stranger, we are taken on an intricate journey into political thought: the role of knowledge in leadership, the tension between law and judgment, and the rare individual capable of weaving justice into the fabric of society. 
This modern audiobook adaptation captures the intellectual richness of Plato’s original while offering a clear and compelling experience for today’s listeners. 
What you’ll discover inside: 
•	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership 
•	Why Plato believes wisdom—not popularity—is the mark of the true ruler 
•	The famous weaving analogy: blending gentleness and courage into the soul of the statesman 
•	A clear and modern translation that reveals the relevance of Statesman to today’s world 
Step beyond politics as usual and explore a vision of leadership guided by reason, character, and justice.
