Description:
Jean-Paul Sartre is an undisputed giant of twentieth-century philosophy. His intellectual writings popularizing existentialism combined with his creative and artistic flair have made him a legend of French thought. His tumultuous personal life - so inextricably bound up with his philosophical thinking - is a fascinating tale of love and lust, drug abuse, high profile fallings-out and political and cultural rebellion.



This substantial and meticulously researched biography is accessible, fast-paced, often amusing and at times deeply moving. Existentialism and Excess covers all the main events of Sartre's remarkable seventy-five-year life from his early years as a precocious brat devouring his grandfather's library, through his time as a brilliant student in Paris, his wilderness years as a provincial teacher-writer experimenting with mescaline, his World War II adventures as a POW and member of the resistance, his post-war politicization, his immense amphetamine fueled feats of writing productivity, his harem of women, his many travels and his final decline into blindness and old age.



Along the way there are countless intriguing anecdotes, some amusing, some tragic, some controversial- his loathing of crustaceans and his belief that he was being pursued by a giant lobster, his escape from a POW camp, the bombing of his apartment, his influence on the May 1968 uprising and his many love affairs. Cox deftly moves from these episodes to discussing his intellectual development, his famous feuds with Aron, Camus, and Merleau-Ponty, his encounters with other giant figures of his day- Roosevelt, Hemingway, Heidegger, J

Not long lasting but my dog loves them
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
My little dog loves them. But they are NOT long lasting and definitely require supervision. Would love to find a product that would last longer than ten minutes,

Good Quality Chew for Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I have a small dog with a sensitive stomach and these sticks are perfect for him. It's a low calorie treat that takes him 10-15 minutes to eat and he really likes the peanut butter taste. These are not cheap but by purchasing them in the 40-pack box it's a little less expensive than the smaller 10 pack bags. I know there are cheaper brands for this type of chew stick, but I like that this product is made in the US and so I don't worry as much about poor manufacturing practices or unknown additives.

Great quality!
Great quality and ingredients. These are SAFE alternative to dangerous raw hide treats. My pups love these so much, they chew on them before bed every night. It's like a pacifier for them. It's a game for my husband and I to find their little stash spots in our bed. I've tried other brands and these are the only ones our pups will eat. I love that I don't have to worry about the safety of the ingredients. If you feed your dogs raw hide, I strongly recommend switching to these.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Peanut Butter
I have a very very aggressive chewer. She is a Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Most toys she completely destroys within 2 days, sometimes 2 hours. I must praise this toy as she has had it for over 5 months and has not destroyed it! She loves chewing the ends and carries in her mouth squeaking it as she goes. I have 4 pups and they all take turns chewing when they can. I will be buying more Playology dog toys in the future. Thank you for making such a great toy!!

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.
