Books in the Sartre and Existentialism: Philosophy, Politics, Ethics, the Psyche, Literature, and Aesthetics series

Sartre''s French Contemporaries and Enduring InfluencesThis final volume examines Sartre''s best-known philosophical contemporaries in France-Albert Camus, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Simone de Beauvoir-in terms of both their own philosophical insights and their relationship to Sartre''s thought. The articles also offer some suggestive connections between Sartre''s thought and subsequent developments in European philosophy, notably structuralism, poststructuralism, and postmodernism. The comparatively recent nature of much of this scholarship is solid testimony to the enduring influence of Sartrean existentialism.
