"Sartre's Two Ethics surpasses my high expectations. It is a truly remarkable achievement, an extraordinarily fine book. For the first time it is possible for a reader to grasp in its totality the gradual formulation of an ethical position which Sartre devoted a lifetime to working out."

CHOICE Review

Anderson's text is one of the clearest discussions of Sartre's ethics available. He does an admirable job of explaining Sartre's "first" ethics, a topic covered in many other works. Where Anderson really shines is in his analysis of the "second" ethics that emerged from Sartre's unfinished Notebooks for an Ethics and from unpublished manuscripts, especially those from public lectures Sartre gave in Rome in 1964. Anderson includes a brief appendix on what he sees as Sartre's third ethics, a fragmentary but fascinating discussion of power and freedom. It is in explaining and comparing the idealistic, existentialist ethics of the 1940s and the realistic, materialistic ethics of the 1960s that Anderson breaks new ground in Sartre scholarship. Familiarity with Sartre's most important works, especially Being and Nothingness and the first volume of the Critique of Dialectical Reason, would be helpful in appreciating Anderson's arguments; but his explanations are so clear and careful that students with minimal exposure to Sartre will benefit from reading this book. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate; graduate. J. H. Barker; Albright College
