Jean-Paul Sartre and the Jewish Question examines the image of "the
Jew" in Sartre's work to rethink not only his oeuvre but also the
role of the intellectual in France and the politics and ethics of
existentialism. It explores more broadly how French identity is
defined through the abstraction and allegorization of "the Jew" and
examines the role anti-antisemitic intellectuals play in this
process. Jonathan Judaken reconsiders the origins of the
intellectual in France in the context of the Dreyfus affair and
Sartre's interventions in the parallel Franco-French conflicts in
the 1930s and during the Vichy regime. He considers what it was
possible to say on behalf of Jews and Judaism during the German
occupation, Sartre's contribution after the war to the Vichy
syndrome, his positions on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the ways
Sartre's reflections on the Jewish Question served as a template
for his shift toward Marxism, his resistance to colonialism, and
for the defining of debates about Jews and Judaism in postwar
France by both Jewish and non-Jewish intellectuals. Judaken
analyzes the texts that Sartre devoted to these issues and argues
that "the Jew" constituted a foil Sartre consistently referenced in
reflecting on politics in general and on the role of the
intellectual in particular.
