Sartre's Second Century

Sartreâ (TM)s Second Century reflects the richness of Sartreâ (TM)s vision of the human condition, the diversity of the means he employed in grappling with it, and the lengthy trajectory of his itinerary, in a variety of wider cultural perspectives. Conferences of the UK and North American Sartre Societies, marking Sartreâ (TM)s centenary in 2005, were the primary occasions for most of the essays collected here. Invited to discuss central themes and key developments in Sartreâ (TM)s life and work, the multinational team of contributorsâ "British, American, French, Canadian and Swissâ "naturally discovered that any attempt to present Sartre in a retrospective light also provides a basis for assessing the relevance of his work in the 21st century.
