Critique of Dialectical Reason, Vol. 1 by Jonathan Ree
In this volume, Sartre sets out the basic categories for the renovated theory of history that he believed was necessary for post-war Marxism. His formal aim is to establish the dialectical intelligibility of history itself, what he called "a totalization without a totalizer".
The work is a landmark in modern social thought.. a turning point in the thinking of our time. -- Raymond Williams * Guardian *
