Webber
argues for a new interpretation of Sartrean existentialism. On this
reading, Sartre is arguing that each person’s character consists in the
projects they choose to pursue and that we are all already aware of
this but prefer not to face it. Careful consideration of his
existentialist writings shows this to be the unifying theme of his
theories of consciousness, freedom, the self, bad faith, personal
relationships, existential psychoanalysis, and the possibility of
authenticity. Developing this account affords many insights into various
aspects of his philosophy, not least concerning the origins,
structure, and effects of bad faith and the resulting ethic of
authenticity. This discussion makes clear the contributions that
Sartre’s work can make to current debates over the objectivity of
ethics and the psychology of agency, character, and selfhood. Written
in an accessible style and illustrated with reference to Sartre’s
fiction, this book should appeal to general readers and students as
well as to specialists.
