- Description
- Falzon presents an account of the process of totalization through which Jean-Paul Sartre arrives at his extraordinary account of freedom in "Being and Nothingness;" and also points, via the discussion of Sartre's work, to some of the dangers involved in totalizing forms of thought, particularly the danger of being imprisoned within it. He concludes that Sartre's assertion of the existence of absolute freedom represents a form of imprisonment.
