Which of Jean-Paul Sartre's works gives the best general description of his existentialist philosophy?

"Existentialism is a Humanism" is the best general overview. It is a lecture he gave early in his career to present his theories to the general public, so it avoids some of the phenomenological technicalities of his other work, like "Being and Nothingness" It has recently been re-published, so it's easy to find.|||There is an excellent piece in a text-book called "The Existentialists"


It describes Sartre's view that man "has no nature" i.e. there is no such thing as "human nature", as well as condensing his other beliefs.|||"Existentialism is a Humanism" is a short, concise work about his philosophy. Not too awful bad to understand.|||None. I believe that JPS's entire body of work has not stood the test of time. |||Existentialism is a Humanism is far to brief to be considered his most descriptive work, and was a response to another philosopher's claims of existentialism. Try "Essays In Existentialism" by Sartre..
