Eshleman Matthew C. - The Sartrean Mind

THE SARTREAN MIND

Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His influence extends beyond academic philosophy to areas as diverse as anti-colonial movements, youth culture, literary criticism, and artistic developments around the world.

Beginning with an introduction and biography of Jean-Paul Sartre by Matthew C. Eshleman, 42 chapters by a team of international contributors cover all the major aspects of Sartres thought in the following key areas:

• Sartres philosophical and historical context
• Sartre and phenomenology
• Sartre, existentialism, and ontology
• Sartre and ethics
• Sartre and political theory
• Aesthetics, literature, and biography
• Sartres engagements with other thinkers.

The Sartrean Mind is the most comprehensive collection on Sartre published to date. It is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, as well as for those in related disciplines where Sartres work has continuing importance, such as literature, French studies, and politics.

Matthew C. Eshleman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, USA.

Constance L. Mui is Rev. Scott Youree Watson, S.J., Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University New Orleans, USA.

In philosophy past and present there are some philosophers who tower over the intellectual landscape and have shaped it in indelible ways. So significant is their impact that it is difficult to capture it in one place. The Routledge Philosophical Minds series presents a comprehensive survey of all aspects of a major philosopher's work, from analysis and criticism of their major texts and arguments to the way their ideas are taken up in contemporary philosophy and beyond. Edited by leading figures in their fields and with an outstanding international roster of contributors the series offers a magisterial and unrivalled picture of a great philosophical mind.
