AUTHENTICITY BEGINS WITH REBELLION,
By
This review is from: Vulgarity and Authenticity: Dimensions of Otherness in the World of Jean-Paul Sartre (Paperback)
Stuart Zane CharmeVulgarity and Authenticity: Dimensions of Otherness in the World of Jean-Paul Sartre (Amherst, MA: U of Massachusetts Press, 1991) 255 pages (ISBN: 0-87023-740-3) (Library of Congress call number: B2430.S34C5248 1991) A careful and comprehensive study of one dimension of Sartre's thought. Vulgarity is rebellion against middle-class conformity. Sartre appreciates marginalized people such as women, Jews, Blacks, & homosexuals because being outside the mainstream of society gives them a head start for becoming more Authentic. They have not been completely absorbed by the bourgeois way of life. Embracing vulgarity is one way of resisting civility. Charme traces this theme thru all dimensions of Sartre's work and life. If you would like to see what other thinkers do with the concept, search the Internet for the following: "Authenticity Bibliography". James Leonard Park, existential philosopher |
