Abstract
This issue contains a symposium on Jonathan Webber's recent Rethinking Existentialism, bookended by two articles. The first of those two articles is a translation (by the author herself and John Gillespie) of Annie Cohen-Solal's highly significant article in Le Monde, ‘Who's Still Afraid of Sartre?’, which gives us a flavour of her much more extensive keynote, with the same title, at last year's meeting of the UK Sartre Society. It is an exploration, by the woman who not only wrote (among many other things) the first biography of Sartre, but has been able to observe French politics and society for decades from the position of a semi-outsider, born in Algeria to a Jewish family, of why Sartre remains such a divisive figure. The other is ‘The Beauty and the Beast: Reading La Nausée through Derrida's L'animal que donc je suis’, by Luca Tripaldelli. As the subtitle indicates, the author puts these two works into a delicate conversation, arguing that the Sartre of La Nausée need not have ended up in humanism and a binary opposition between humans and animals.
