At least once in the day when I’m going about my normal routine I become keenly aware that at this weirdly specific moment in time I am me and the universe experiencing itself, and it creates a stomach pitfall and dissociation I imagine Sartre must have felt. I think how easily I could snuff it out and it jogs my emotions and existence back to reality. Weird shit

This ''nausea'' feels like a meditative state with open eyes. Am I right? I hope you all have felt this nausea phenomenon. It is scary yet beautiful. Incomprehensible.

From the medical point of view Nausea would implement to disorders related to derealization/depersonalization. I think that was something Sartre suffered during his lifetime and when writing Nausea.

I think it's rather something typical of people who have experienced war, more specifically the "jarring" effect of modern/new technology. Alot of people from that time started to feel weird about reality, because suddenly it was greatly automated and accommodized. Life became something to enjoy, rather than functional (biological reproduction became sexual pleasure, labour provided leisure, etc.) For alot of people, this sense of leisure, relaxation, pampering, was alienating. What was exclusive for the rich, suddenly became available to the masses. Not to mention all the social (women working for the first time) and cultural (just look up how dramatically different modern art and music is compared to fin de siècle) changes going on, people must have felt dizzy and spinning constantly with all these sudden changes going on. I understand Nausea from this point of view. Other work of Sartre also seems to stress this form of "alienation" from a working class pov, as he provides ample examples in Being and Nothingness of working class people being regarded as a universe instead of merely their uniforms or the function they inhabit. He really stresses that workers should be treated as humans, but does so with a million words and very awkward examples of psychology that its point fades out. Lacan would further expand on this with his play on masks, paper tigers, the small and Big other, and so on. He was much more effective in the psychological field than the philosophical, yet his philosophy has drastically changed the field for the better. It's also nice to read Sartre whilst being familiar with Camus' philosophical and journalistic entries. Camus writes what alot of people think Sartre describes (rebellion, some kind of pragmatic or socialist surrealism), whilst Sartre is often vague on purpose (eg On Emotions is nice for daydreaming, but a terrible pseudo-intellectual exploration of what emotions are) whilst his fictional parables (No Exit, Nausea) are bold. It really feels like a wanky teenager pretending to be a philosopher while he should stick to being an artist (spoiler: that's the ending of Nausea) and I'd advice people to read de Beauvoir's The Second Sex instead. She's really good and more important than Sartre anyways.

Great analysis! Nausea is one of my favourite books, and I often find myself gravitating towards it for a reread, especially during a change or transitional period in my life. I also see a heavy influence of psychedelics on the novel - the "nausea" is very similar to the thoughts/experience of a trip, the disassociation from our ego, objects, routines.

I came across a synopsis of this book and was instantly reminded of a similar sensation. During the period of my life where I heavily experimented with drugs and mixed too drugs which sent me into a state of confusion but also disillusionment. Everything and everyone around me triggered the feeling Sartre describes in his book. I don't advocate this use of these drugs in this way but for purpose of information they were 🍄🍃

What seems to me clear from this examination of Sartre’s novel is a delineation of a boundary between words the character Roquentin wants to use about what he sees and his internal knowing consciousness. Sartre though avoids considering what that internal consciousness might entail. Rather he says of the outside through the character the meaning of words gets lost in the face of a totality of existence. Totality or wholeness of existence can be addressed as if the problem of connecting words to the wholeness of being can be met. This angle of approach I am pointing out makes more sense than attributing existence as an external awareness in the sense of existentialism. One is asking how to know existence. Then one is trying to connect the whole to the parts. The wholeness of the inside of a person to the pieces of the world which words help us to grasp. Then words have a realism component about connecting. We then know ourselves to be hungry as a state of the whole body for which the words hungry matters. Not in the sense of overwhelming by starvation, but the reality of the human built social structure that feeds me. Sartre refers to this as choice making, but the body has a system or structure for getting food to nourish the totality of the body.

There seems to be a few people on here who seem to want to take a fictional story that is about struggling to understand the characters own existence and turn it into a real life mental health study. I wonder if they do the same with other, more mainstream novels? Sartre is seeking to put together a novel about a philosophical idea/theory and how someone ‘might’ experience such an event. If someone wants to create a medical model out of that, that’s their choice, but to attempt to suggest that Sartre had mental health problems, never having met him, is beyond ridiculous. The man was a genius, he clearly thought through some very difficult philosophical ideas, far beyond what most could ever hope to do. To attempt some half-arsed reductive assessment based on one early novel is just silly. These people doing this may know their psychological onions, but maybe not their fictional/philosophical/existential ones. They insult a great Frenchman, whose funeral flooded the streets of Paris.
