Western philosophical orthodoxy places many aspects of other
people's lives outside the scope of our knowledge. Demonstrating an
alternative to this view, however, this book argues that Jean-Paul
Sartre's application of his unique psychoanalytic method to Gustave
Flaubert is the culmination of his project to show that it is
possible to know everything there is to know about another person.
It examines how Sartre aims to revolutionize our way of thinking
about others by presenting his existential psychoanalysis as the
means to knowledge of both ourselves and others. By so doing, it
highlights how his determination to solve the longstanding
philosophical conundrum about other minds drives him not only to
incorporate insights from Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, Freud, Marx,
and Beauvoir into his philosophy, but also to supplement and
enhance his philosophy through the development and application of a
new form of psychoanalysis. Sartre's Existential Psychoanalysis
integrates, for the first time, Sartre's psychoanalysis into his
overarching philosophical project. By offering a critical
interrogation of the role his psychoanalytical studies played in
the development of his existentialism, Mary Edwards uncovers the
overlooked philosophical significance of his existential
psychoanalysis and brings it into a new and productive dialogue
with current research in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and
psychotherapy.
