Abstract

This anthology runs the gamut of Sartre's literary and philosophical output, from early to late, including selections from Sartre's plays, La Nausée and literary essays, as well as Sartre's philosophical works. The editor's fifty page introduction is perhaps over-ambitious in its attempt to discuss all phases of Sartre's thought. The largest selections, of course, are taken from Being and Nothingness. The selection of greatest interest is the seventy pages from La Critique de la raison dialectique, appearing for the first time in translation. The selections from Sartre are on the whole good, presenting a well-rounded introduction to all facets of Sartre's thought.—A. W. W.
