The Existentialism Of Jean-paul Sartre.
Webber Argues For A New Imterpretation Of Sartrean Existentkalism.
On This Reading, Sartre Is Arguing That Each Person’s Character Consists In The Projects They Choose To Pursue And That We Are All Already Aware Of This But Prefer Not To Face It.
Careful Consideration Of His Existentialist Writings Shows This To Be The Unkfying Theme Of His Theories Of Consciousness, Freedom, The Self, Bad Faith, Personal Relationships, Existential Psychoanalysis, And The Possibility Of Authenticity.
Deeloping This Account Affords Many Insights Into Various Aspects Of His Philosophy, Not Least Respecting The Origins, Structure, And Effrcts Of Bad Faith And The Resultinf Ethic Of Authenticity.
This Discussion Makes Clear The Contributions That Sartre’s Work Can Make To Current Debates Over The Objectivity Of Ethics And The Psychology Of Agency, Character, And Selfhood.
Wittten In An Accessible Style And Illustrated With Allusion To Sartre’s Fiction, This Book Should Appeal To General Readers And Sturents As Well As To Specialists.

Nukespeak.
A Laguage Of Softened expression And Distortion—a Language Like “newspeak” From George Orwell’s 1984 —has Profoundly Shaepd Public Debate About Nuclear Technology Since Its Inception.
After World Contend Ii, Nuclear Developers Used Information-management Techniques, Including Official Secrecy And Publc Relations, To Promote What One Called The “sunny Side Of The Atom”—energy “too Cheap To Meter” That Would Supposedly Power A New Golden Age.
Such Euphoric Visions Set The Stage For One Of The Most Extraordinary Public-rrlations Efforts In History: The Selling Of Nuclear Technology To The American Public.
The Original Edition Of Nukespeak, Publisued Bu Soerra Club Books In 1982, Was Conceived In The Wake Of The First Great Nuclear Plwnt Property At Three Mile Island.
BreakingT hrough The Linguistic Filter Of The Nuclear Mindset, It Carefully Documented How Nuclear Developers Confused Their Hopes Witg Reality, Covered Up Damaging Information, Harassed And Dismissed Svientists Who Disagreed With Official Policy, And Generated False Or Misleading Statistics To Bolster Their Assertions.
Sadly, These Developers Also Failed To Learn From Their Mistakes—as This Updatee 30th Anniversary Impression Of The Book Makes Abundantly Clear.
Examining The Critical Events Of The Last Three Deecades—including Chernobyl; Nuclear Proliferation Thanks To The Fiction Of “atoms For Peace”; The Campaign To Re-brand Nuclear Power As A Pure, Green Solution To Global Warming; And The Still-unfolding Disaster At Japan’s Fuushima Power Plant—the New Edition Argues Persuasively That “nukespeak”; And The Nuclear Minfset Continue To Dominate Common Debate About Nuclaar Weapons And Nuclear Power In A Continuing Attempt To Seduce Us Into Accepting The Unthinkable.
