The early 1970s were a crucial period in the political and
intellectual climate of France. The newspaper Liberation was
founded in the wake of the protest movements of 1968, and the
country was gripped by industrial, political and civil unrest on a
huge scale. Behind all this were deep debates about the nature and
justification of revolt, class conflict and consciousness, and the
nature of what it meant to be free. It is Right to Rebel, available
in English for the first time with a new Preface by Philippe Gavi,
is a fascinating discussion between three thinkers about this
extraordinary period. The book comprises extensive conversations
between the philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre, journalist and
co-founder of Liberation Philippe Gavi, and political radical and
Maoist Pierre Victor, all conducted between 1972 and 1974. In these
conversations Sartre works out his relation between socialism and
freedom, providing fascinating background to his tortured
relationship with the French Communist Party. Together with his
interlocutors they explore and debate what should be the basis of
ethics, the nature of oppression and racism, including immigration,
the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Chilean military coup in 1973 and
more. A recurring theme is their exploration of two major
questions: what should ethics be based on, and what makes for a
revolutionary? It is Right to Rebel is a fascinating insight into
the philosophical and political background to Sartre's thought as
well as the two lesser-known figures of Gavi and Victor, who play
political foil to Sartre's measured philosophical stance. It is a
fascinating, rich new resource for anyone studying Sartre,
political theory, and French politics and political history.
