The first English translation of Sartre's unfinished fourth
volume of Roads to Freedom, exploring the interrelations of
politics, responsibility, friendship and freedom - themes central
to Sartrean existentialism.
"The publication of the fourth volume of Sartre's Roads of Freedom is a key contribution to the field of Sartre studies. English-speaking readers will here have access for the first time to the sequel to what they thought was a trilogy. It is an important sequel, as translator Craig Vasey so aptly shows. In these pages, the roads of freedom take an interesting turn, unveiling Sartre's own trajectory with regards to the concepts of freedom and commitment. Vasey's translation makes these texts available with a concern for accuracy and respect for Sartre's words. Further, this book complements Sartre's manuscripts with a scholarly apparatus that makes it more than a mere translation. This is a scholarly edition of the fourth volume that will shed a new light on Sartre's notion of freedom and how it ought to be pursued. A key reading for anyone interested in Sartre as a writer and/or philosopher." - Professor Christine Daigle, Brock University, Canada
Jean-Paul Sartre wurde am 21. Juni 1905 in Paris geboren. Mit seinem 1943 erschienenen philosophischen Hauptwerk 'Das Sein und das Nichts' wurde er zum wichtigsten Vertreter des Existentialismus und zu einem der einflussreichsten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Theaterstücke, Romane, Erzählungen und Essays machten ihn weltbekannt. Durch sein bedingungsloses humanitäres Engagement, besonders im französischen Algerien-Krieg und im amerikanischen Vietnam-Krieg, wurde er zu einer Art Weltgewissen. 1964 lehnte er die Annahme des Nobelpreises für Literatur ab. Er starb am 15. April 1980 in Paris.
