Description: Jean-Paul Sartre and the Politics of Reason: A Theory of History by Andrew Dobson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Andrew Dobsons new examination of Sartres later works, particularly the biographies of Baudelaire, Genet and Flaubert, and also the Critique, shows his transformation by the War from existentialist to Marxist, and his commitment to an overarching political project throughout his writings. Publisher Description Andrew Dobson charts Sartres transformation from novelist and apolitical philosopher of existentialism, before the Second World War, to a committed defender of Marxism and Marxist method after it. Examining Sartres post-war work in detail, he shows how the biographies of Baudelaire, Genet and Flaubert, often considered tangential to his main oeuvres, are in fact central to this defence of Marxism, and should therefore be read as acts of political commitment. Andrew Dobsons study of posthumous sources, including the extended commentaries in English of Volume II of the Critique of dialectical reason, and in its insistence on reading Sartres philosophical development as primarily politically motivated. It provides a clear reading of some of Sartres less familiar works, situating them in an overarching social and political project. Author Biography Andrew Dobson is Professor of Politics in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the Open University, UK. He is the author of a number of books including Citizenship and the Environment (2003), Green Political Thought (2000) and Justice and the Environment (1998).
