Jean-Paul Satre - Christine Daigle
ISBN/ISSN: 041543565X
Introducing both literary and philosophical texts by Sartre, this volume makes Sartre’s ideas newly accessible to students of literary and cultural studies as well as to students of continental philosophy and French. Christine Daigle sets Sartre’s thought in context, and considers a number of key ideas in detail, charting their impact and continuing influence, including:
Sartre’s theories of consciousness, being and freedom; the ethics of authenticity and absolute responsibility; concrete relations, sexual relationships and gender difference;
the social and political role of the author;
the legacy of Sartre’s theories and their relationship to structuralism and philosophy of mind. (from Amazon product details)
