In attendance were some of Italy's leading Marxist thinkers, such as Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, and Galvano Della Volpe, whose contributions to the long and remarkable discussion that followed are collected in this volume, along with the lecture itself. Sartre posed the question \"What is subjectivity?\"--a question of renewed importance today to contemporary debates concerning \"the subject\" in critical theory. This work includes a preface by Michel Kail and Raoul Kirchmayr and an afterword by Fredric Jameson, who makes a rousing case for the continued importance of Sartre's philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Paul Sartre\u003c\/b\u003e was a philosopher, novelist, public intellectual, biographer, playwright and founder of the journal \u003ci\u003eLes Temps modernes\u003c\/i\u003e.
