"View of the lens" is a fascinating book by the famous French writer Jean-Paul Sartre, which mainly deals with the moral and ethical aspects of human existence. In this philosophical work, the author addresses the problem of subjectivism and objectivism in moral judgments, studying the interaction of man with the surrounding world. The protagonist of the novel, journalist Antoine Roac, tries to find his way in a world where religion has lost its power, morality is questioned, and belief in one's ideals becomes a challenge. Through the prism of Roak's life path and his encounter with various ethical dilemmas, the reader has the opportunity to think through complex issues of free will, responsibility to oneself and other people. "View of the lens" is not only a philosophical novel, but also a kind of collection of thoughts about the essence of human existence, which leaves a deep mark in the hearts of readers and encourages an open discussion of the most important problems of our time.
