Abstract

THE rapprochement of existential and Marxist philosophy has received a good deal of attention since Sartre published in 1960 his Critique de la raison dialectique. Its introduction, Question de méthode, has been translated into English by Hazel Barnes. At least two major explications of the work have appeared in the last two years. Extensive reviews have appeared in philosophical journals in this country and abroad. Finally, at least one critical study devoted explicitly to the problems such a marriage entails was published last year in paperback format. Another publication which brings together a collection of essays and excerpts is titled Existentialism Versus Marxism and has already decided the future of the marriage by its sub-title: "Conflicting Views on Humanism."
