Da den franske filosof Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) i 1943 udgav sit eksistentialistiskehovedværk Væren og Intet, stillede han en nærmere redegørelse for moralfilosofieni udsigt. Selv om han arbejdede alvorligt på projektet 1945-48, måtte hanopgive at give det en endelig form. Vanskelighederne lå i at forene den eksistentielleforestilling om frihed, autonomi og valg med en etik, der var almen og gik forudfor den enkelte eksistens.Efter Sartres død udkom imidlertid de gamle Hæfter til en moral, og nærværendeEtik – hæfter til en moral giver et fyldigt uddrag, der viser Sartres optagethed affrihedsbegrebet og hans forsøg på at udmønte en etik, der ikke byder på vold ogbeherskelse, men åbner for generøsitet og spontan imødekommelse af den anden.Det Gode opstår i mødet med den anden.Etik – hæfter til en moral udkom første gang på dansk i 1995 og Peter Kemp harskrevet forord. Bogen genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels forlags serie Klassikere.

In this volume, Sartre sets out the basic categories for the renovated theory of history that he believed was necessary for post-war Marxism. His formal aim is to establish the dialectical intelligibility of history itself, what he called "a totalization without a totalizer".

"Everyone is free here. . . . The cities are open. They are open to the world and to the future. That is what gives them all an air of adventure; and . . . a kind of touching beauty." So wrote the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre on a 1945 trip to the United States during which he crossed the country and dove deep into the soul of the American city. In this new volume, Sartre's reflections on the distinctly American quality of cities in the United States are accompanied by Pedro Meyer's photographs of American cities, offering similarly sharp insights, but through a different historical lens: that of the late eighties and early nineties. Together, the photographs and essays articulate the enduring essence of American urban existence--its relationship with time, with labor and humanity, and with the open spaces emblematic of America.

A new trade edition of Sartre's magnum opus. First published in 1943, this masterpiece defines the modern condition and still holds relevance for today's readers.

In Existential Psychoanalysis, Sartre criticizes modern psychology in general, and Freud's determinism in particular. His often brilliant analysis of these areas and his proposals for their correction indicate in what direction an existential psychoanalysis might be developed.Sartre does all this on the basis of his existential understanding of man, and his unshakeable conviction that the human being simply cannot be understood at all if we see in him only what our study of subhuman forms of life permits us to see, or if we reduce him to naturalistic or mechanical determinism, or in any other way take away from the man we try to study his ultimate freedom and individual responsibility.An incisive introduction by noted existential psychologist Rollo May guides readers through these challenging yet enlightening passages.

Jean-Paul Sartre, at the height of his powers, debates with Italy's leading intellectualsIn 1961, the prolific French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre was invited to give a talk at the Gramsci Institute in Rome. In attendance were some of Italy's leading Marxist thinkers, such as Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, and Galvano Della Volpe, whose contributions to the long and remarkable discussion that followed are collected in this volume, along with the lecture itself. Sartre posed the question ';What is subjectivity?'a question of renewed importance today to contemporary debates concerning ';the subject' in critical theory. This work includes a preface by Michel Kail and Raoul Kirchmayr and an afterword by Fredric Jameson, who makes a rousing case for the continued importance of Sartre's philosophy.

What is Literature? challenges anyone who writes as if literature could be extricated from history or society. But Sartre does more than indict. He offers a definitive statement about the phenomenology of reading, and he goes on to provide a dashing example of how to write a history of literature that takes ideology and institutions into account.

'The Wall', the lead story in this collection, introduces three political prisoners on the night prior to their execution. Through the gaze of an impartial doctor-seemingly there for the men's solace-their mental descent is charted in exquisite, often harrowing detail. And as the morning draws inexorably closer, the men cross the psychological wall between life and death, long before the first shot rings out. This brilliant snapshot of life in anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of the people that inhabit it . This is an unexpurgated edition translated from the French by Lloyd Alexander.

Sartre's study of Baudelaire is one of the more brilliant achievements of modern criticism. We may often disagree with his interpretations of the poet's personality, but we cannot fail to wonder at the mastery with which he presents his case. It is the case, quite patently, of an Existentialist who wishes to psychoanalyze a paramount literary figure in terms of his own beliefs.Perhaps Sartre's greatest contribution to Existentialism has been his own personality. He made it a living philosophy, giving it his exotic imagination, his penchant for controversy, and above all his daring. He turned abstractions like Existence and Being, Freedom and Nature, into a theory of psychoanalysis, grounded in man's creativity and opposed to Freudian determinism. Then he put the theory into practice in this book on Baudelaire.Baudelaire, man of shadows, opium-addict, dandy, frigid disciple of volupté; and then the greatest lyric poet of the age. Sartre lays bare the "lunar landscape of this distressed soul." We see Baudelaire, with anguished intelligence, selecting and arranging his own evil destiny, juggling the values of a world at the turning point of modern times.
