This edited collection re-examines the global impact of Sartre's
philosophy from 1944-68. From his emergence as an eminent
philosopher, dramatist, and novelist, to becoming the 'world's
conscience' through his political commitment, Jean-Paul Sartre
shaped the mind-set of a generation, influencing writers and
thinkers both in France and far beyond. Exploring the presence of
existentialism in literature, theatre, philosophy, politics,
psychology and film, the contributors seek to discover what made
Sartre's philosophy so successful outside of France. With twenty
diverse chapters encompassing the US, Europe, the Middle East, East
Asia and Latin America, the volume analyses the dissemination of
existentialism through literary periodicals, plays, universities
and libraries around the world, as well as the substantial
challenges it faced. The global post-war surge of existentialism
left permanent traces in history, exerting considerable influence
on our way of life in its quest for authenticity and freedom. This
timely and compelling volume revives the path taken by a
philosophical movement that continues to contribute to the
anti-discrimination politics of today.

Unsere Demokratien stehen vor grossen politischen
Herausforderungen, nicht zuletzt durch populistische Bewegungen und
die Ruckkehr nationalistischer Trugbilder. Die Autoren des Bandes
befragen das kritische philosophische, emanzipatorische Denken der
Existentialisten Sartre, Camus und Beauvoir nicht nur in ihrem
Zwiegesprach miteinander, sondern auch mit Vorlaufern,
Wegbereitern, Nachfolgern wie Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Arendt,
Foucault und Butler und Gegnern wie Schmitt.
