The concise and lucidly-written A Preface to Sartre discusses the French philosopher's contributions in all of these fields. Making imaginative use of the insights of some of the most important contemporary French thinkers (notably Jacques Derrida), Dominick LaCapra seeks to bring about an active confrontation between Sartre and his critics in terms that transcend the opposition between existentialism and structuralism. Referring wherever appropriate to important events in Sartre's life, he illuminates such difficult works as Being and Nothingness and the Critique of Dialectical Reason, and places Sartre in relation to the traditions that he has explicitly rejected. LaCapra also offers close and sensitive interpretations of Nausea, of the autobiography, The Words, and of Sartre's biographical studies of Baudelaire, Genet, and Flaubert. "I envision intellectual history," writes laCapra, "as a critical, informed, and stimulating conversation with the past through the medium of the texts of major thinkers. Who else in our recent past is a more fascinating interlocutor than Sartre?" 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French. 676 $a848/.91209 700 $aLaCapra$b Dominick.$0122081 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480937803321 996 $aPreface to Sartre$91682311 997 $aUNINA
