Anti-Semite and Jew” by Jean-Paul Sartre is a seminal work of existentialist philosophy and social critique. Originally published in 1946, the book examines the nature of anti-Semitism and its psychological and societal impacts. Sartre explores the motivations behind anti-Semitic attitudes, the roles of both anti-Semites and Jews in perpetuating discrimination, and the broader implications for human identity and freedom.
Through a philosophical lens, Sartre argues that anti-Semitism is a form of irrational hatred that serves to reinforce the anti-Semite’s own sense of identity and security. The book is a profound exploration of prejudice and a call for understanding and combating bigotry.
