Review:
"This is an impressive collection of essays by two of the UK's most dedicated Sartre scholars. The questions of embodied consciousness and of words and/as actions are both timely and perennial; that is to say, urgent, in view of the rapid advances of neuroscience, and yet amongst the 'universal' issues that philosophy is constantly trying to come to terms with. This work represents a substantial contribution from Boule and O'Donohoe." -Christina Howells, Professor of French, Wadham College, Oxford
