# Critique de la raison dialectique, volume I, is published

Date: 1960

## The fact

In 1960 Gallimard published [Jean-Paul Sartre](/people/jean-paul-sartre)’s Critique de la raison dialectique, volume I, an unfinished-system attempt to join existential freedom to dialectical history, distinct from the 1943 ontology. Groups, seriality, and the fused group are the teaching objects. Marxist lock-in as a cost is a neighbouring political row, not this volume’s existence as access.

## Context

Hungarian 1956 had already strained fellow-travel. The Critique is a philosophical answer, not a clean break. Amphetamine labour later reported is not converted here into a clinical Fact without a public instrument. Sharing print with Gallimard does not erase the author. Do not treat later academic Marxisms as this 1960 title.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

## Evidence and sources

## Significance

Education path, modest-to-mid weight, medium confidence on uptake. High confidence on 1960 publication of volume I.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Critique de la raison dialectique I appeared in 1960. Not established: that volume II is a finished lifetime book he issued as such. Contribution is recorded as He authored the 1960 Critique, volume I. Gallimard printed it; volume II remained unfinished in his lifetime as a finished book. The impact note is A public attempt to think Marxism and freedom together is a modest education path, not a party congress. The dated heading stays Critique de la raison dialectique, volume I, is published on 1960-04-01, not a later statue, UNESCO listing, or school film. Printers, unnamed clerks, and later editors may appear in the same file without becoming this instrument. Later competitions, monuments, and adaptations are refused as extra lifetime acts of this person on this date.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access). The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. 1960 Critique is not the 1943 Néant. Mixed effects of Critique de la raison dialectique, volume I, is published are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Critique de la raison dialectique, volume I, is published. Naming Jean-Paul Sartre does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1960-04-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
