£2,250.00
First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the half-title "Hommage de JP Sartre".
Sartre's reflections on the Jewish question, written in the aftermath of the holocaust, offers an analysis of what makes a person Jewish and the nature of the anti-Semite. In Sartre's view, a person is Jewish if they are viewed as such in the eyes of others, rather than it being their religion or ethnicity. As of such, anti-Semitism can only be ended on the part of the non-Jews, rather than the Jews themselves.
