Abstract

In this issue, two authors offer a phenomenological analysis of contemporary social phenomenon (political torture and jazz). The other two authors engage Sartrean literature. The theme of being situated runs through all four pieces. Sartre not only collected many of his shorter essays under the title of Situations, he developed an entire philosophy based on the premise that humans are free only within-a-situation. Unlike any other author before or since, Sartre found a way to express his vision of human freedom in philosophical texts, plays, novels, and journalism. The four authors in this volume draw on Sartre's unparalleled ability to combine artistic and philosophical expression.
