{"product_id":"situation-and-human-existence-sonia-kruks-9780367110956","title":"Situation and Human Existence: Freedom, Subjectivity and Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocial philosophy oscillates between two opposing ideas: that individuals fashion society, and that society fashions individuals. The concept of 'situation' was elaborated by the French existentialist thinkers to avoid this dilemma. Individuals are seen as actively situating themselves in society at the same time as being situated by it. This book, first published in 1990, traces the development of the concept of situation through the work of Gabriel Marcel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It shows how it illuminates questions of self or subjectivity, embodiment and gender, society and history, and argues that it goes far beyond the currently fashionable notions of the 'death of the subject'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonia Kruks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367110954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367110956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sonia Kruks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054467477759,"sku":"9780367110956","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaeff6c0-2ead-48de-b795-d67b4abb9202.jpg?v=1685030144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/situation-and-human-existence-sonia-kruks-9780367110956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
