Description
Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. This biography provides the first book-length account of Sartre as a philosopher, mapping his intellectual development and exploring the defining ideas of his oeuvre. Sartre's philosophy is characterized by its emphasis on existentialism, ethics, politics, and ontology. The book delves into these concepts, examining how they relate to Sartre's literary and philosophical work, including his descriptive phenomenology and concept of intentionality. By considering both the intellectual and literary dimensions of Sartre's thought, this biography offers a nuanced understanding of his ideas. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Sartre's philosophy and its connection to his life and work.
