This landmark book, first published in 1979, met acclaim as a
doubly important work of radical philosophy. Its subject, Jean-Paul
Sartre, was among the twentieth century's most controversial and
influential philosophers; its author, Istvan Meszaros, was himself
establishing a reputation for profound contributions to the Marxian
tradition, which would continue into the next century. The Work of
Sartre was thus considered essential for its insights on Sartre and
as a piece of Meszaros 's developing politico-philosophical
project. In this completely updated and expanded volume, Meszaros
examines the manifold aspects of Sartre's legacy--as novelist,
playwright, philosopher, and political actor--and in so doing casts
light upon the enture oeuvre, situating it within the historical
and social context of Sartre's time. Although critical of aspects
of Sartre's philosophy, Meszaros celebrates his unyielding
commitment to the struggle against the power of capital, and
elucidates what this means for the individual in their search for
freedom.
