Before writing it, he had been closely allied with phenomenologists such as Husserl and Heidegger. Here, however, Sartre attacked Husserl''s notion of a transcendental ego.

This student-friendly edition of The Transcendence of the Ego also includes an introduction and notes/annotations by the translators.
