<p><strong>Existentialist Politics and Political Theory</strong><br>The publication of the Critique of Dialectical Reason in 1960 marked the culmination of Sartre's efforts begun in his more occasional political writings in what became essentially his journal Les Temps Modernes and developed more systematically in his important essay Search for a Method to forge links between existentialism and a non-orthodox version of Marxism with a view to developing a new philosophy of politics society and history and a new approach to the philosophy of the social sciences. The articles provide a wide-ranging insightful exploration of Sartre's successes and failures in this domain.</p>
