More About the Author
Novelist, playwright, and biographer Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) is widely considered one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. His major works include "No Exit," "Nausea," "The Wall," "The Age of Reason," "Critique of Dialectical Reason," "Being and Nothingness," and "Roads to Freedom," an allegory of man's search for commitment, and not, as the man at the off-licence says, an everyday story of French country folk.

Fair and far-reaching overview of Jean-Paul Sartre's work,
By Philosopher9 "iconclast_666" (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre (Paperback)
(I was introduced to philosophy through the work of Thomas Nagel and Jean-Paul Sartre.)
An excellent introduction to Jean-Paul Sartre's work, both chronologically and conceptually. Sartre has much to say about everything from love and art to consciousness and personal identity. His insights are profound and in many ways have much relevance to every day life. I would recommend his work to anyone, but especially philosophers, psychologists and ministers/priests.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful Sartrean examinations and crituques,
This review is from: The Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre (The Library of Living Philosophers, Vol. XVI) (Paperback)
This volume contains exceptional philosophical articles on the philosophy of Sartre. It covers every and all aspect of his life and thoughts. The critiques pull no punches and omit nothing. This work takes a hard look at the soundness of Sartre's philosophy. To find out if they hold up, read this volume. p.s. The interview with Sartre durring his later years is worth the price of the book alone. If you like Sartre, you will love this book.
