Andre Gorz and the Sartrean Legacy: Arguments for a Person-Centered Social Theory

By Finn Bowring and J.E. Hoare

A comprehensive and scholarly exploration of the personal and philosophical origins of Andr Gorz's work, this book includes a unique analysis of his early untranslated texts, as well as critical discussions of his relationship to the work of Husserl, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Marx, and Habermas. Reassessing pivotal notions such as the "lifeworld" and the "subject," it argues that Gorz has pioneered a person-centred social theory in which the motive and the meaning of social critique isfirmly rooted in people's lived experience.
