The book presents comparative analysis of Sartre work as a novelist, playwright, and philosopher-existentialist. It portrays Sartre as a symbol of the 20 Century culture, its complexity, trials, and tribulations.

This monograph examines the origins of modern and modernist moral confusion and the deterioration of the Judeo-Christian values and contemporary boundaries between Right and Wrong. It traces the ethical shift to the ideas of Hobbes and Bentham, the peculiar universe of Schopenhauer and Dostoevsky, the new religion of Tolstoy and the destroyed God of Nietzsche, ending with the psychoanalytical commandments of Freud and the mire of sexual identity of Foucault and Paglia.
