What is subjectivity? (Verso Books)

In 1961 the prolific French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre was invited to give a talk at the Gramsci Institute in Rome. In attendance were some of Italy's leading Marxist thinkers such as Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, Galvano Della Volpe and Lucio Colletti, whose contribution to the lung and remarkable discussion are in this volume. Sartre posed the question, "What is subjectivity?"--a question that is today of renewed importance to contemporary debates around "the subject" in critical theory. This work features a preface żeby Michel KaIl and Raoul Kirchmayr and an afterword by Fredric Jameson, who makes a rousing case for the ongoing importance of Sartre's philosophy.
