Synopses & Reviews
Jean-Paul Sartre was once described as being, next to Charles de Gaulle, the most famous Frenchman of the 20th century. Introducing Sartre explains the basic ideas that inspired his existential world-view, and pays particular attention to his idea of freedom. It links the more general presuppositions of Sartre's philosophy to his ideas on Marxism and his support for movements of national liberation in the Third World, and explores the impact that his unusual child-hood had on his attitude towards French society.
