Sartre's Marxism

Sartre's Marxism analyses Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason and its contribution to Marxist theory.Mark Poster places the Critique within the social and political context of post-war France and gives a lucid and accessible account of its key arguments and concepts. He argues against those who dismiss the Critique too lightly, especially those who view it through the lens of Sartre's earlier existentialism.He concludes that traditional notions of historical materialism need to be revised in the light of Sartre's contribution, which provides categories to restore the subjective side to the story in which people make history.
