Are human struggles intelligible? These questions form the starting-point for the second volume of Sartre's \u003ci\u003eCritique of Dialectical Reason\u003c\/i\u003e. Drafted in 1958 and published in France in 1985, this magisterial work first appeared in English in 1991 and now reappears with a major new introduction by Fredric Jameson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume Two's theoretical framework is a logical extension of the predecessor's. As in Volume One, Sartre proceeds by moving from the simple to the complex: from individual combat (through a perceptive study of boxing) to the struggle of subgroups within an organized group form and, finally, to social struggle, with an extended analysis of the Bolshevik Revolution. The book concludes with a forceful reaffirmation of dialectical reason: of the dialectic as 'that which is truly irreducible in action'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Paul Sartre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844670775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844670772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 6.52w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 7","brand":"Jean-Paul Sartre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890565148927,"sku":"9781844670772","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dd4d2d7-51e5-4885-91a6-6a6ce6d3a3c1.jpg?v=1709739400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critique-of-dialectical-reason-vol-jean-paul-sartre-9781844670772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
