• Through a JSTOR search on Sartre’s relationship to structuralism, I found a more recent (1992) interview with Jurgen Habermas conducted by CUNY’s Richard Wolin. This felicitous find provided me with a useful framework for Sartre’s famous interview in Telos–beyond Sartre’s relationship to structuralism, the interview provides Habermas’s take on Sartre’s legacy in the various traditions of Marxism, phenomenology, existentialism, and humanism. Because Wolin is an intellectual historian, his questions maintain a lucid historicizing distance from the subject. The result is a clarifying overview of Habermas’s opinions on Sartre’s impact on the history of Twentieth Century thought in France and Germany. I now have a central contemporary take on Sartre’s legacy as I turn back to Sartre’s 1971 interview.
