Sartre’s powerful political passions were united with a memorable literary gift, placing him foremost among the novelists, as well as the philosophers, of our time. Iris Murdoch’s pioneering study analyses and evaluates the different strands of Sartre’s rich and complex oeurve. Combining the objectivity of the scholar with a profound interest in contemporary problems, Iris Murdoch discusses the tradition of philosophical, political and aesthetic thought that gives historical authenticity to Satre’s achievement, while showing the ambiguities and dangers inherent in his position.
