Jean-Paul Sartre's anarchist philosophy

In this landmark study, William L. Remley sheds new light on the crucial role of anarchism in Sartre's writing, arguing that it fundamentally underpins the body of his political work.

Sartre's political philosophy has been infrequently studied and neglected in recent years.

Introducing newly translated material from his early oeuvre, as well as providing a fresh perspective on his colossal 'Critique of Dialectical Reason', this text is a timely re-invigoration of this topic.

It is only in understanding Sartre's anarchism that one can appreciate the full meaning not only of the Critique, but of Sartre's entire political philosophy.

The book sets forth a new approach to Sartre's political philosophy by arguing that it espouses a far more radical anarchist position than has been previously attributed to it.
