      abstract = {This edited collection re-examines the global impact of  Sartres philosophy from 1944-68. From his emergence as an  eminent philosopher, dramatist, and novelist, to becoming  the 'worlds conscience through his political commitment,  Jean-Paul Sartre shaped the mind-set of a generation,  influencing writers and thinkers both in France and far  beyond. Exploring the presence of existentialism in  literature, theatre, philosophy, politics, psychology and  film, the contributors seek to discover what made Sartres  philosophy so successful outside of France. With twenty  diverse chapters encompassing the US, Europe, the Middle  East, East Asia and Latin America, the volume analyses the  dissemination of existentialism through literary  periodicals, plays, universities and libraries around the  world, as well as the substantial challenges it faced. The  global post-war surge of existentialism left permanent  traces in history, exerting considerable influence on our  way of life in its quest for authenticity and freedom. This  timely and compelling volume revives the path taken by a  philosophical movement that continues to contribute to the  anti-discrimination politics of today.},
