Jean-Paul Sartre: Mind and Body, Word and Deed

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

Jean-Paul Sartre: Mind and Body, Word and Deed celebrates Sartres polyvalence with an examination of Sartrean philosophy, literature, and politics. In four distinct yet related sections, twelve scholars from three continents examine Sartres thought, writing and action over his long career. Sartre and the Body reappraises Sartres work in dialogue with other philosophers past and present, including Maine de Biran, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Didier Anzieu. Sartre and Time offers a first-hand account by Michel Contat of Sartre and Beauvoir working together, and a philosophy in practice analysis by François Noudelmann. Ideology and Politics uses Sartrean notions of commitment and engagement to address modern and contemporary politics, including insights into Castro, De Gaulle, Sarkozy and Obama. Finally, an important but neglected episode of Sartres lifethe visit that he and Beauvoir made to Japan in 1966is narrated with verve and humour by Professor Suzuki Michihiko, who first met Sartre during that visit and remained in touch subsequently. Taken together, these twelve chapters make a strong case for the continued relevance of Sartre today. See more
