Description
This collection presents a decade of Jean-Paul Sartre's work, spanning from his influential Critique of Dialectical Reason in 1960 to his early study on Flaubert. The essays and interviews gathered here showcase the breadth and unity of Sartre's interests as he sought to reconcile his existentialism with Marxism.
The volume includes a long autobiographical interview that provides a comprehensive overview of Sartre's intellectual evolution, as well as analytical texts on key political issues of the time. The collection also explores philosophical and aesthetic questions through essays on Kierkegaard, Mallarme, and Tintoretto, before concluding with a thought-provoking reflection on the role of intellectuals in advanced capitalism.
This book offers an impressive demonstration of Sartre's thought and its capacity to respond to contemporary political and cultural changes. It provides valuable insights into his intellectual development and the key issues that shaped his work during this period.
