Reference:

Sontag, S. Sartre’s ‘Saint Genet’ (translated by Krotovskaya, N. G.)

Abstract: The article offers the analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre’s book ‘Saint Genet, Actor and Martyr’ constituting the first volume of the Complete Works of Genet. In his book Sartre does not only express his admiration for Genet’s prose works but also demonstrates his own style and method of philosophy connecting the phenomenological tradition from Descartes to Husserl and Heidegger completed with the liberal addition from Freud’s psychoanalysis and revisionist Marxism. Based on Sartre, genius is not a gift but a way to survive invented by human in critical situations.


Keywords:
