- Provides a novel interpretation of the post-war French
intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre’s major existentialist writings
and ideas
- Draws parallels between Sartre’s work and the work of
Wittgenstein
- Stresses continuities rather than conflict between Sartre and
Merleau-Ponty, and between Sartre and
post-structuralist/post-modernist thinkers, thus corroborating
‘new Sartre’ readings
- Exhibits the influence of Gestalt psychology in Sartre’s
descriptions of the life-world
- Forms part of the Blackwell Great Minds series, which outlines the views of the great western thinkers and captures the relevance of these figures to the way we think and live today
