Lasowksi, Aliocha Wald
Rehabilitons Sartre
"Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) was the leader of the existentialist movement and author of its manifesto, ""Existentialism is a humanism"" (1946). His works include L'Etre et le nant, La Nause, Les Mains sales, Huis-clos and Les Mots. He exerted a major influence on the intellectual and political life of the second twentieth century. The quintessential Marxist intellectual, he ardently defended the anti-colonial cause. Yet this man-monument divides philosophers, historians and the general public. For some, he is the thinker of the bourgeoisie; for others, the theorist of anti-totalitarianism who forgot to apply its principles. Alyosha Wald Lasowski offers a critical but fair and contextualized biography of the man who dominated thought in the second half of the 20th century. Book in French.
