    Chapter Eight Jean-Paul Sartre as social theorist of communication. A theoretical engagement with Critique of Dialectical Reason 8.1 Introduction 8.2 Language and communication in society 8.3 Communication in capitalism 8.4 Ideology and reification 8.5 Conclusion Literature 8.1 Introduction Jean-Paul Sartre was a public intellectual who made use of modern media for public and political interventions. As a writer, the theatre and the newspaper were beside the book the media of his preferred use. He also appeared on radio and television but was much more sceptical of these media types (Scriven 1993). Sartre did not just make use of the media to communicate publicly but also contributed to theorising communica- tion. This chapter focuses on his Critique of Dialectical Reason (CDR). It asks: How can Sartre’s Critique of Dialectical Reason inform a critical theory of communication? CDR is a two-volume book that in its English edition has a total of 1,304 pages. The French original of volume 1 was published in 1960, volume 2 posthumously in 1985 after Sartre’s death in 1980. In Search for a Method (SM) is an accompanying text published as a separate book. This total of around 1,500 pages shows Sartre at the height of his dialectical, Marxist phase of development. In her Sartre-biography, Annie Cohen-Solal (2005) argues that the work of Sartre on his major philosophical books always reflected political experiences. Between 1950 and 1956, Sartre was particularly close to the French Communist Party (PCF). This period started at the beginning of the Korean War.
