CONCLUSION: SARTRE'S CENTURY?; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEX 330 $aMost critics of the political evolution of Jean-Paul Sartre have laid emphasis on his allegedly sympathetic and uncritical attitude to Stalinist Communism due, to a large extent, to their equation of Marxism with Stalinism. It is true that Sartre was guilty of many serious misjudgements with regard to the USSR and the French Communist Party. But his relationship with the Marxist Left was much more complex and co tradictory than most accounts admit. This book offers a political defence of Sartre and shows how, from a relatively apolitical stance in the 1930s, Sartre became increasingly involved in the politics of the Left; though he always distrusted Stalinism, he was sometimes driven to ally himself with it because of the force of its argument. 410 0$aBerghahn monographs in French studies. 606 $aCommunism$zFrance 606 $aCommunism and philosophy$zFrance 606 $aCommunism$zSoviet Union 606 $aIntellectuals$xPolitical activity$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aCommunism 615 0$aCommunism and philosophy 615 0$aCommunism 615 0$aIntellectuals$xPolitical activity 676 $a335.43 700 $aBirchall$b Ian H.$0129217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822383003321 996 $aSartre against Stalinism$94034141 997 $aUNINA
