Overview
Sartre's moral thinking progressed from an abstract, idealistic ethics of authenticity to a more concrete, realistic, and materialistic morality. Much of Sartre's important unpublished work on ethics - relevant to both his 'first' and his 'second' ethics - has become available to scholars only in the years since his death. Only now has it become possible to give a complete presentation of both the first and the second ethics and to accurately identify their relationship. Sartre's Two Ethics also presents Professor Anderson's original criticisms of Sartre's two ethics, and concludes that the second is a significant advance over the first.Synopsis
"Sartre's Two Ethics surpasses my high expectations. It is a truly remarkable achievement, an extraordinarily fine book. For the first time it is possible for a reader to grasp in its totality the gradual formulation of an ethical position which Sartre devoted a lifetime to working out."
—Hazel Barnes University of Colorado
