Description: Critique of Dialectical Reason, Vol. 2 by Jean-Paul Sartre, Arlette Elkaim-Sartre, Fredric Jameson, Quintin Hoare Volume Two of Sartres intellectual masterpiece, introduced by Fredric Jameson. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Does history produce discernible meaning? Are human struggles intelligible? These questions form the starting-point for the second volume of Sartres Critique of Dialectical Reason. Drafted in 1958 and published in France in 1985, this magisterial work first appeared in English in 1991 and now reappears with a major new introduction by Fredric Jameson.Volume Twos theoretical framework is a logical extension of the predecessors. As in Volume One, Sartre proceeds by moving from the simple to the complex: from individual combat (through a perceptive study of boxing) to the struggle of subgroups within an organized group form and, finally, to social struggle, with an extended analysis of the Bolshevik Revolution. The book concludes with a forceful reaffirmation of dialectical reason: of the dialectic as that which is truly irreducible in action. Notes Second volume of this towering work of 20th century philosophy, in a new paperback edition.
