A confident understanding of Sartre is essential for students of Continental philosophy.

Recensioner i media

"Cox's book is much more than an introduction to Sartre ... Sartre: A Guide for the Perplexed is well worth reading and thinking about. It would be useful in existentialism classes, history of philosophy classes, philosophy of mind, and in Great Books programs which focus on the chronological development of ideas in the Western world."
