Description
'Existentialism and Sociology: A Study of Jean-Paul Sartre' by Ian Craib examines the relevance of Sartre’s philosophy to the study of society and human relationships. Craib explores ideas from 'Being and Nothingness' and 'Critique of Dialectical Reason', considering subjects including consciousness, interpersonal relationships, praxis, social groups, institutions and history. He also applies Sartrean ideas to contemporary sociological approaches, engaging with the work of theorists such as Erving Goffman, Harold Garfinkel and Alvin Gouldner. First published by Cambridge University Press in 1976, the book grew out of Craib’s doctoral research and provides a focused study of the connections between existential philosophy and sociological theory.
