Description

Sartre on Violence Curiously Ambivalent by Ronald E. Santoni explores Jean-Paul Sartre's complex and evolving thoughts on violence, tracing his development from early writings to later debates with other philosophers. This comprehensive treatment examines the key stages of Sartre's thought on violence, including his debate with Albert Camus in 1952 and his Rome Lecture in 1964. Santoni critiques Sartre for failing to fully articulate his own position on the limits of violence, while also highlighting the nuances of Sartre's ambivalent stance. By examining Sartre's views on violence, this book provides a detailed analysis of one of the most significant and enduring debates in existentialist philosophy.
