5.0 out of 5 stars An Existentialist Ethics?, March 22, 2001
By 
This review is from: Notebooks for an Ethics (Hardcover)
This is an excellent translation of a long, extremely important - though fragmentary - text by Sartre, posthumously-published and still quite seriously neglected. It is well-known that, in Being and Nothingness, Sartre promised to publish a treatise on ethics, the implication being that it would be based on the ontology of that work. Notebooks for an Ethics shows him struggling to fulfil that promise, but ultimately failing as his basic perspective changes. It is indispensable reading for anyone having, or seeking, a view on whether it is possible to build an ethics upon the foundations of Sartre's early existentialism.
