At the height of the Algerian war, Jean-Paul Sartre embarked on a
fundamental reappraisal of his philosophical and political thought.
The result was the Critique of Dialectical Reason, an intellectual
masterpiece of the twentieth century, now republished with a major
original introduction by Fredric Jameson. In it, Sartre set out the
basic categories for the renovated theory of history that he
believed was necessary for post-war Marxism. Sartre's formal aim
was to establish the dialectical intelligibility of history itself,
as what he called 'a totalisation without a totaliser'. But, at the
same time, his substantive concern was the structure of class
struggle and the fate of mass movements of popular revolt, from the
French Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century to the
Russian and Chinese revolutions in the twentieth: their ascent,
stabilisation, petrification and decline, in a world still
overwhelmingly dominated by scarcity.
