From the middle of the 1940s onwards, Sartre became the
personification of the committed intellectual, courageously taking
public positions on many of the pressing issues of his time. In the
1950s and 1960s, the theoretical basis for his political commitment
lay in his existentialist brand of Marxism, which received its most
mature formulation in the Critique of Dialectical Reason. Focusing
on the point of departure for later Sartrean thought and political
commitment, Sam Coombes highlights key areas of common ground
between the ethical, aesthetic, and political content of works from
Sartre's early period and classic Marxist philosophy. Taking
account of both the specificity of early Sartrean thought and the
heterogeneity of Marxist theories, this book affirms their lasting
importance to radical left critique. It offers in-depth analysis of
areas of early Sartrean thought hitherto rarely discussed in the
literature such as the conceptual parallels between the concepts of
inauthenticity and ideology, the political implications of Sartre's
pre-war writings, and the first clear signs of Marxist tendencies
in Sartre's wartime writings.
