Die Anmerkung beleuchtet, dass der relative Wohlstand der arbeitenden Bevölkerung in den westlichen Industrienationen das Ergebnis von Klassenkämpfen ist. Nach Marx führt die innere Notwendigkeit, die aus den Widersprüchen des Kapitalismus entsteht, zur Revolution. Diese „Krankheit“ wird als Antrieb für die revolutionäre Klasse betrachtet.
Through an in-depth analysis of Gustave Flaubert's life and work, particularly his creation of Madame Bovary, this classic study explores the formation of the modern self. Jean-Paul Sartre dedicated a decade to this comprehensive examination, which reflects his philosophical insights. Now available in an abridged edition, this work, compiled by Joseph S. Catalano, maintains the essence of Sartre's original volumes while revealing the enduring impact of nihilism in contemporary thought.

Ergens in de provincie, in het stadje Bouville, leidt de historicus Roquentin een geïsoleerd bestaan. Hij heeft zich teruggetrokken om een studie te schrijven over het leven van de achttiende-eeuwse markies de Rollebon. Roquentins eigen leven is veelbewogen. In zijn nieuwe, deprimerende omgeving voelt hij zich geconfronteerd met de naakte feiten. Zijn dromen zijn vervlogen. Er is alleen nog het leven. <i>Walging</i> biedt naast illusieloosheid een venster in de nacht van de walging van het bestaan.

"Everyone is free here. . . . The cities are open. They are open to the world and to the future. That is what gives them all an air of adventure; and . . . a kind of touching beauty." So wrote the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre on a 1945 trip to the United States during which he crossed the country and dove deep into the soul of the American city. In this new volume, Sartre's reflections on the distinctly American quality of cities in the United States are accompanied by Pedro Meyer's photographs of American cities, offering similarly sharp insights, but through a different historical lens: that of the late eighties and early nineties. Together, the photographs and essays articulate the enduring essence of American urban existence--its relationship with time, with labor and humanity, and with the open spaces emblematic of America.
Critical Essays (Situations I) contains essays on literature and philosophy from a highly formative period of French philosopher and leading existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre’s life, the years between 1938 and 1946. This period is particularly interesting because it is before Sartre published the magnum opus that would solidify his name as a philosopher, Being and Nothingness. Instead, during this time Sartre was emerging as one of France’s most promising young novelists and playwrights - he had already published Nausea, The Age of Reason, The Flies, and No Exit. Not content, however, he was meanwhile consciously attempting to revive the form of the essay via detailed examinations of writers who were to become central to European cultural life in the immediate aftermath of World War II. -- Provided by publisher
Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre counted among his friends and associates some of the most esteemed intellectuals, writers, and artists of the twentieth century. In Portraits (Situations IV), Sartre collected his impressions and accounts of many of his notable acquaintances, in addition to some of his most important writings on art and literature during the early 1950s. Portraits includes Sartre's preface to Nathalie Sarraute's Portrait of a Man Unknown and his homages to André Gide, Albert Camus, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The essay on Merleau-Ponty casts considerable light on the recent history of French philosophy, particularly with regard to dominant post-war political conceptions. Featured as well are lengthy studies of Sartre's close friend Paul Nizan and of the young André Gorz that are no less revealing, as well as Sartre's "Reply to Albert Camus," which sealed the ideological and personal break between the two writers on its publication in 1952. Alongside these major writings are fascinating articles on Tintoretto and a number of contemporary artists, including Giacometti and Masson. Finally, Portraits concludes with two travelogue-style accounts of Sartre's time in Italy. This new translation by Chris Turner presents these essays in their complete form as originally intended by Sartre when he first published Situations IV in France and is thus essential reading for anyone interested in the artistic and intellectual history of the time. -- Provided by publisher
