Volume Two of Sartre's intellectual masterpiece, introduced by Fredric Jameson
Jean-Paul Sartre was a philosopher, novelist, public intellectual, biographer, playwright and founder of the journal Les Temps modernes. Born in Paris in 1905, Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1964 - and turned it down. His books include Nausea, Intimacy, The Flies, No Exit, The Freud Scenario, War Diaries, Critique of Dialectical Reason, and the monumental treatise Being and Nothingness. He died in 1980.
This work is a landmark in modern social thought ... a turning
point in the thinking of our time.
*Raymond Williams*
The Critique is essential to any serious understanding of
Sartre.
*George Steiner*
Of all the published posthumous works, Volume Two of the Critique
of Dialectical Reason most strongly shows why Sartre is alive to us
today ... Unique among this century's great writers,
Sartre-especially in his Critique II-points towards understandings
and actions which may possibly return the world to its creators and
so let there be a future.
*Ronald Aronson*
