Reading Sartre''s Second Ethics - Morality, History, and Integral Humanity

This book provides a reconstructive and critical interpretation of Sartre's mature dialectical ethics. Taken together, as Sartre intended, the posthumously published key texts demonstrate that the ultimate goal of praxis is "integral humanity" and that "making the human" is always possible because the means to humanity can always be invented.
