According to Harvey (French, SUNY at Stony Brook), the key to Sartre's ethics is an unresolved relation to a father that he could only imagine, since Sartre's own father died when Sartre was six months old. Harvey demonstrates that the theme of paternity in Sartre's fiction, drama, and political texts illuminates ambiguities in his philosophy. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
