What does /lit/ think of Sartre?
I've noticed that this board has a generally low opinion of existentialism but I've been reading about him and he seems like a legit guy. He rejected the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and was apparently a Marxist or something because he saw money as something unnatural that influenced people to do things they wouldn't do otherwise.

hating existentialist philosophy is the meme. i don't think people hate existentialism, but they hate the types people it attracts. most people use it as a fun mental exercise, or an introduction to philosophy, but those who pose as intellectually savvy for fashionable purposes is the target of ridicule and disgust.

sartre is disliked for multiple reasons- I personally believe he was the least prodigious of the french resistance. he was lazy and pompous. his jealousy of camus opened a huge character flaw of his, he misinterpreted Heidegger, and his fiction was an attempt of Celine's style, even though the two despised one another.
i forgot- his support of leftist/marxist movements made him even more laughable. an opportunistic tapeworm that can't even look at you straight in the eye
ps later on down the line, he tried to take the novel prize and money

Nausea was great, after the war he got more and more ridiculous though. The communist split with Camus was the big sign.

Jeff Goldblum
keep in mind that while this thread collects replies, not a single person has mentioned Being & Nothingness, his most important work. i'd be surprised if even 5 people on this board read it.

it was already mentioned earlier in the thread that he misunderstood Heidegger...
