Abstract

The beginning of this paper is an attempt to provide an analysis and understanding of the notion of Nothingness as perceived and conceived by Jean-Paul Sartre in his magnum opus “Being and Nothingness”. Furthermore, the study endeavours to understand. Sartre’s method of bad faith in relation to his concepts of facticity and transcendence by engaging the theory of freedom. More specifically, I would first locate the notions of nothingness; later facticity and transcendence. Then, I would make an attempt to provide a brief outline of his method of bad faith in relation to facticity and transcendence by employing the theory of freedom. I hope to make clear certain key terms of Sartre like nothingness, negatite, bad faith, transcendence, facticity and authenticity as the paper proceeds towards its stated aim. Here I would be referring to his book “Being and Nothingness”.
