 oment\; The Rise of Sartre as a Public Intellectual (Polity Press 2015).\n
 \nPatrick Baert is Professor of Social Theory at the University of Cambrid
 ge and Fellow of Selwyn College\, Cambridge.\n\nUntil 1944 Jean-Paul Sartr
 e was only known to a small group of French intellectuals. Within less tha
 n two years this would change dramatically: by 1946 Sartre had become a ce
 lebrity in France and existentialism had gained a large following.  In thi
 s talk Patrick Baert explains Sartre’s sudden rise in the context of the
  immediate post-war era in France. The talk also accounts for Sartre’s d
 emise\, the emergence of rival philosophies and the continuing fascination
  with this iconic figure\, not just in France but also worldwide.
