A novel introduction to Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist phenomenology.
- Draws parallels between Sartre's work and the work of Wittgenstein
- Stresses continuities rather than conflict between Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, and between Sartre and post-structuralist/post-modernist thinkers, thus corroborating 'new Sartre' readings
- Exhibits the influence of Gestalt psychology in Sartre's descriptions of the life-world
- Forms part of the Blackwell Great Minds series, which outlines the views of the great western thinkers and captures the relevance of these figures to the way we think and live today
Katherine Morris has been a Lecturer in philosophy at Mansfield College, Oxford University since 1986 and a fellow since 1998; she holds an MPhil in medical anthropology as well as a DPhil in philosophy.
