THE EARLY SARTRE AND MARXISM - SAM COOMBES KART...

From the middle of the 1940s onwards  Sartre became the personification of the committed
intellectual  courageously taking public positions on many of the pressing issues of his time.
In the 1950s and 1960s  the theoretical basis for his political commitment lay in his
existentialist brand of Marxism  which received its most mature formulation in the Critique of
Dialectical Reason. Focusing on the point of departure for later Sartrean thought and political
commitment  Sam Coombes highlights key areas of common ground between the ethical  aesthetic 
and political content of works from Sartre's early period and classic Marxist philosophy.
Taking account of both the specificity of early Sartrean thought and the heterogeneity of
Marxist theories  this book affirms their lasting importance to radical left critique. It
offers in-depth analysis of areas of early Sartrean thought hitherto rarely discussed in the
literature such as the conceptual parallels between the concepts of inauthenticity and ideology
the political implications of Sartre's pre-war writings  and the first clear signs of Marxist
tendencies in Sartre's wartime writings.
