Description

This book examines the concepts of subjectivity and selfhood developed in the�oeuvre of Jean-Paul Sartre. Although Sartre is a prominent philosopher, the�reception of his work is shrouded in misguided ideas concerning his alleged�subjectivism. This book accurately positions Sartre in debates concerning the two�themes which form a guiding thread throughout his work and remain immensely�relevant in the philosophical landscape of today. Gusman expertly tracks and�uncovers the nuances of the evolving notions of subjectivity and selfhood, paying�particular attention to his claim that the Self is a �thing among things� and to his�views on narrative identity. Using as a framework the critical reception from thinkers in Sartre�s own tradition,�the book also draws from the recent popularity of his thought in analytic�philosophy of mind. Illuminating and impactful, this book provides an invaluable�resource to scholars looking for a contemporary and up-to-date critical study of�Sartre�s work.Typham this is the title: Sartre on Subjectivity and Selfhood The Self as a Thing Among Things
