A study of the work of JeanPaul Sartre and of its relevance for contemporary sociology. Dr Craib sees Sartre as a central figure in modern European thought providing links between Husserl and Heidegger on the one hand and Marxists and Structuralists on the other. He is concerned to relate Sartres apparently abstract and often obscure philosophical work to methodological and other research problems in sociology; in particular he uses Sartrean philsophy to criticize the very influential work of Gouldner, Goffman and Garfinkel. In the first part of the book Dr Craib concentrates on Being and Nothingness and considers the way in which Sartres brand of phenomenology can inform studies of interpersonal relationships. In the second part, he examines La Critique de la raison dialectique, which deals with the wider structure of society, the nature of social classes and the development of history. He goes on to investigate the connections between these two levels of analysis, and the complex interrelationships between the sociologist, his fellows, his objects of study and his theoretical work.
