THE EXISTENTIALIST MOMENT: THE RISE OF SARTRE AS A PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL
Book ID/图书代码： 10963015B79917
English Summary/英文概要： Jean-Paul Sartre is often seen as the quintessential public intellectual, but this was not always the case. Until the mid-1940s he was not so well-known, even in France. Then suddenly, in a very short period of time, Sartre became an intellectual celebrity. How can we explain this remarkable transformation?
The Existentialist Moment retraces Sartre�s career and provides a compelling new explanation of his meteoric rise to fame. Baert takes the reader back to the confusing and traumatic period of the Second World War and its immediate aftermath and shows how the unique political and intellectual landscape in France at this time helped to propel Sartre and existentialist philosophy to the fore. The book also explores why, from the early 1960s onwards, in France and elsewhere, the interest in Sartre and existentialism eventually waned. The Existentialist Moment ends with a bold new theory for the study of intellectuals and a provocative challenge to the widespread belief that the public intellectual is a species now on the brink of extinction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 让•保罗•萨特一直被视作典型的公共知识分子，但其实直到40年代中期他在法国都不是为很多人知道。但是突然间，在很短的时间内，萨特成为了知识名人。我们该如何看待这么显著的变化呢？
《存在主义时刻》带读者回顾了萨特的事业发展，并对他的一夜成名提供了一个新的见解。贝尔特带读者回到了第二次世界大战那段充满困惑和创伤的岁月，其造成的直接后果以及法国特殊的政治和知识氛围在那段时间中帮助萨特和他的存在主义理论为世人所知。《存在主义时刻》还探讨了为何从1960年代初期开始，在法国和世界各地，对萨特和存在主义的热情逐渐减退。《存在主义时刻》最后介绍作者对于知识分子研究提出了一个全新的理论，并对大众普遍认为的公共知识分子正处于灭绝的边缘这个想法提出了质疑。（XAT）

"In a brilliant history of Sartre as philosopher and public figure, Patrick Baert creates a new theory of the public intellectual not through their personal intentions (the vocabulary of positioning) but in terms of the consequences of their thought (the vocabulary of efects). The result is a superb contribution both to our understanding of public intellectuals and to the sociology of knowledge."Bryan S. Turner, The City University of New York
"Why Sartre emerged, from almost nowhere, to become one of the most compelling intellectuals of the 20th century has posed a seemingly intractable challenge for historians and social theorists alike. Patrick Baert cuts this Gordian knot, and develops a new sociological theory of intellectuals along the way. The Existentialist Moment is a deeply researched, conceptually compelling work."Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University
"Baert′s The Existentialist Moment gives us a unique opportunity to see precisely what was going on in the French intellectual world in 1945 when Sartre first exploded on the scene. The interactions among French thinkers, against the backdrop of earlier struggles between collaborationists and the Resistance, are vividly portrayed in Baert′s fine writing. There is nothing like this book on the market today. It is a gem."Charles Guignon, University of South Florida
