I won't order from Amazon, but decided I'd rather support a Catholic busness like yourselves.

This book is one of a series of Socratic explorations of some of the Great Books. The books in this series are intended to be short, clear, and non-technical, thus fully understandable by beginners. Through such Socratic dialogues, Peter Kreeft introduces (or reviews) the basic questions in the fundamental divisions of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, anthropology, ethics, logic, and method.

In Socrates Meets Sartre, Kreeft takes the reader through the world of existentialist philosophy, posing questions that challenge the concepts that Sartre proposed. Based on an imaginary dialogue between Socrates and Sartre that takes place in the afterlife, this profound and witty book makes an entertaining and informative exploration of modern philosophy.

Sartre Made Simple
By Charlie Schmidt from Los Angeles, California on January 6, 2010
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Boston College philosopher Peter Kreeft is a modern-day C S Lewis, and he has the gift of writing clear insightful books on philosophy and religion. SOCRATES MEETS SARTRE is an excellent book and it shows the serious flaws in Sartre's philosophy. The book consists of an imagined dialogue between Socrates and Sartre in the afterlife, where Socrates engages in a dialogue with Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre is an athiest who believes, correctly, that if there is no God, then there is no objective moral law. Sartre's atheism also means that human life is meaningless, and this causes Sartre to despair. This book clearly summarizes the main points of Sartre's existentialism. Author Kreeft makes the humorous point that because Sartre's philosophy is so bleak and causes such despair, that atheists who read Sartre are liable to switch to theism. SOCRATES MEETS SARTRE, as is the case with all of the books in Kreeft's "SOCRATES MEETS" series, is excellent and highly recommended. In addition to being clear, insightful and interesting, they have the virtue of being quick to read.
