The Concept of Freedom and the Development of Sartre's Early Political ThoughtAuthor(s): Bernard Merkel\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367110468, 978-0367110468\nSynopsis\nThis book, first published in 1987, is a study of the development of Sartres political thought from the late 1920s to the liberation of France in 1944, concentrating particularly upon his concept of freedom. It is argued that the evolution of Sartres thinking can be regarded as constituting a series of problematics each of which has a corresponding notion of freedom, and these problematics are elucidated in turn.
