Sartre Today is a tribute to Jean-Paul Sartre on the centenary of
his birth (1905-2005). With twenty-two contributions from leading
Sartre scholars in North America and the United Kingdom, this
volume will greatly enhance Sartre scholarship in the
English-speaking world. The diversity of these chapters reflects
the depth and breadth of Sartre's wide-ranging engagement with the
political and cultural issues of his time. Yet as these
contributions demonstrate, it is clear that Sartre's work still
offers an important framework through which to address contemporary
issues of a similar magnitude. This applies to Sartre's enduring
contribution to philosophy and his conception of violence and
terror, as well as analyses of the latest political events in the
United States. Other contributions address Sartre's relationship to
the contemporary understanding of neuroscience and group therapy as
well as his conception of literature, biography, the theater and
cinema. This rich volume will be of great use not only to all
Sartre scholars but also to anyone who has an interest in modern
philosophy, politics, psychology, and literature. Contributors:
