Table of References

The works cited in the text. Primary works by Jean-Paul Sartre are given with the date of original publication, followed by the translation and edition cited. Being and Nothingness and the Critique of Dialectical Reason are cited in the notes by internal division rather than by page.

Works cited

Why some works carry no page number: the English editions of Hazel E. Barnes's translation of Being and Nothingness do not share a common pagination, and the pagination of the French text differs again. An apparently precise page reference that no edition supports is worse than no page reference at all.

Why some entries carry a digital object identifier and others do not: an identifier is attached only where the registered record agrees with the printed entry on title, on journal or publisher, and on year. Where the registry offers a different edition, a reprint, a translation other than the one cited, or a record that cannot be told apart from a review of the same title, the entry is left plain. The list is the book's, not the registry's.

The secondary literature listed above is put to work in the argument rather than surveyed. The disagreement about whether Sartrean freedom is absolute is set out on Two Registers; the chapters that take up each contested claim are listed in the table of contents; and the vocabulary the argument depends on is glossed in the glossary of concepts.
