Jean-Paul Sartre fu un filosofo e scrittore esistenzialista francese, figura centrale del pensiero del XX secolo. La sua opera esplora temi come la libertà, la responsabilità e la ricerca della verità, rendendolo una voce influente. Sebbene abbia rifiutato il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, i suoi scritti hanno plasmato profondamente il panorama intellettuale della sua epoca. Sartre ha approfondito la condizione umana e le sue implicazioni attraverso saggi filosofici, drammi e romanzi, lasciando un segno significativo nella letteratura e nella filosofia.
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.

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
Jean-Paul Sartre, at the height of his powers, debates with Italy’s leading intellectuals In 1961, the prolific French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre was invited to give a talk at the Gramsci Institute in Rome. In attendance were some of Italy’s leading Marxist thinkers, such as Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, and Galvano Della Volpe, whose contributions to the long and remarkable discussion that followed are collected in this volume, along with the lecture itself. Sartre posed the question “What is subjectivity?”—a question of renewed importance today to contemporary debates concerning “the subject” in critical theory. This work includes a preface by Michel Kail and Raoul Kirchmayr and an afterword by Fredric Jameson, who makes a rousing case for the continued importance of Sartre’s philosophy.
Этот единственный сборник малой прозы Сартра объединяет общая тема — тема свободы. Свободы, которую одни мечтают обрести, а другие — ограничить. «Стена» — спрессованная в одну-единственную ночь история человека, жить которому до рассвета... «Комната» — трагедия двоих, вынужденных быть рядом, но не вместе, мечтающих обрести друг друга, но не умеющих друг друга услышать и понять. «Герострат» — абсолютно неожиданный взгляд на… убийство. Что лежит в его основе? Ненависть к людям или самому себе? Желание прославиться или стать свободным? «Интим» — поединок между мужчиной и женщиной, любовью и ненавистью, чувствами и долгом.
Il più famoso libro del medico e pittore Carlo Levi. La scoperta del problema meridionale non solo come episodio di una condizione arcaica, intollerabile nella nostra società, ma anche come teatro di una straordinaria civiltà contadina. «Eboli,--dicono i lucani tra cui Levi fu mandato al confino dal fascismo,--è l’ultimo paese di cristiani. Cristiano è uguale a uomo. Nei paesi successivi, i nostri, non si vive da cristiani, ma da animali». Secondo Italo Calvino «la peculiarità di Carlo Levi sta in questo: che egli è il testimone della presenza di un altro tempo all’interno del nostro tempo, è l’ambasciatore d’un altro mondo all’interno del nostro mondo». Saggi introduttivi di Italo Calvino e Jean-Paul Sartre.
