Sartre and Critical Theory
This is a bit of a self-serving post (nothing new for a blog, I guess). I think it might go a bit beyond the self-serving, though, so here goes:
I have an article in the newest issue of Philosophy Today (one might have seen this on Farhang's Continental Philosophy board) titled "Sartre and the Communicative Paradigm in Critical Theory." Right after it in the issue is an article by David Sherman titled "Sartre, Critical Theory, and the Paradox of Freedom," so anyone interested in drawing links between Sartre and the Frankfurt School (or interested in Sartre generally) should check the issue out.
What is particularly funny about this is that David and I gave versions of those papers, on the same panel on Sartre and Critical Theory, at the last North American Sartre Society meeting. That our papers are together again in Philosophy Today is sheer coincidence.
I think it is quite a happy coincidence, though. While both papers are on the same basic topic, they should provide very different takes on the issue. David's work focuses more on first generation critical theory than mine, and he has a bit of a different take on Sartre, so reading the two papers together should be particularly interesting. Enjoy!
