Reconstructed Table of Contents

2. The young Hegel

Why? - “Chapter Two (…is) still to be written. [It is] about (Chp. 2) the young Hegel.”[1]

3. The young Marx

Why? - “Chapter Three (…is) still to be written. [It is] about (…) the young Marx (Chp. 3)”[2]

4. On post-existentialist thought

Why? - “…there ought to be a Chapter Four: On post-existentialist thought.”[3]

Content - …Research proved lengthy and difficult on account of the tortuous French. However, the paradox of Pasternak might offer a key to that of Sartre - both are noble representatives of a counter-revolutionary era, reactions to a barebones rationalism of the Fascist and Bolshevik holocaust. My wife remarked that Pasternak's gripping lyricism is a direct descendant of Jens Peter Jacobsen, the Danish poet (1885&nsbp;&nsbp;&nsbp;&nsbp;), and added: - but so is Sartre of Kierkegaard (1855&nsbp;&nsbp;&nsbp;&nsbp;), of course. In this light French existentialism (like Pasternak) provokes a next step. In practical terms this means that my positive thoughts on freedom may be easier to present in the face of Sartre: Pasternak than of Sartre alone.[4]
