Pathways to Philosophy is a playful, imaginative
introduction to the art of philosophical reflection and
wonderment.
Original essays are combined with classical and contemporary
readings from philosophy, science, and literature. Both structure
and content emphasize the wide-ranging nature of the field, its
relevance to other disciplines, and the interrelatedness of
seemingly disparate areas of study.
There are four main sections divided into a total of twelve
chapters held together by a common thread: analysis and
exploration of various concepts and dimensions of the Self. The
text covers Eastern as well as Western traditions and includes
selections by both men and women.
All material is carefully chosen, edited, and coordinated to insure
that it is accessible to and appropriate for introductory students.
The overall effect is a presentation which is sure to be engaging,
exciting, provocative, and fun.

Foreword
The book is directed to the grassroots course in Sartre's brand of
existential philosophy. My experience in teaching introductory
courses in philosophy has convinced me that the philosophy of
Sartre can be best introduced to students through Nausea
which is replete with existential themes. It is easier for the
beginner to identify oneself with Roquentin and his use of the
phenomenological method in Nausea than with Sartre and his
abstract and vague descriptions of this method in Being and
Nothingness. The ideal of philosophy as a presuppositionless
discipline is also best conveyed through the character and
experiences of Roquentin who by living his universal doubt reveals
existence in its immediacy.
The book does not claim to be a substitute for Sartre's popular
novel Nausea, or his philosophical work, Being and
Nothingness. It is better regarded as a companion volume or
handy guide for comprehending Sartre's complex work.

Jean Paul Sartre's Existentialism in Literature and Philosophy
Oneonta Philosophy Studies, 1995
Writing on Jean-Paul Sartre is like going to a shrine. The way is
well trodden. However, the journey continues to be uphill and the
path winding and circuitous. There are blind alleys, labyrinthine
pathways, and distracting lights. Time and again one has to pause
and look for direction. I have been a devoted pilgrim to the
Sartre shrine. As a token of my debt to Sartre, I have written
this work in an effort to telescope the long and arduous
intellectual journey for the newly initiated.
