Abstract

The purpose of this study is: (1) to examine Sartre’s intellectual background in search of those elements which have led to the development of paradoxical concepts; (2) to collect and examine current criticisms of Sartre’s philosophical position; and (3) to show why the interpretation of his philosophy as an embodiment of paradox necessitates a re-evaluation of critical attacks.
