Magic Marmalade 10th Jan 2016		Review Perhaps the most rewarding read I've ever had... and the hardest read too. This book actually hurt my brain to read it. My brain... In my head. Hurt! It's commonly thought of (some say erroneously) as a manifesto of existentialism, and while it is philosophy, which implies thick academic logic and the consideration of existence (Ontology) from a scientific perspective, you actually come away from it feeling that you've read one of the greatest works of spirituality ever written. (Religious Scriptures aside) It can change your world view, and make feel... yes feel spiritually enlightened. But to get there you have to get stuck in the mire of some very dense concepts, which are hard to get your head around... such as: "beings for themselves", "beings for others", "beings in themselves" etc. As well as the truly mind melting concept of temporality, whereby we don't actually exist, and neither does anything else, because as soon as something something happens, it no longer exists, and likewise, if it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't exist either, and we exist in the crack of the existence of now, which doesn't exist, but is defined be movement of future to past, and exists between the two, but as it is neither past or future but constantly moving from being the future (which doesn't exist), to the past (which doesn't exist)... So we exist between two states that don't exist, that define a state which doesn't exist because they don't, but does, because it is... yet is not. OK? I promise you there is more of a sense of what you might define as "God" in this, than you may find in a thousand other books. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
