Sartre. Discuss.
I just started Nausea and am liking it. Papers are hard to catch.
What book should I read next? Is it worth it?

>> No.2289367

age of reason is real good, and read his play the flies... i like him better as a prose stylist than a philosopher actually

>> No.2289369

Nausea was boring; worse was its effect on literature, which convinced and still convinces people writing about nothing is vogue and wanted.

I bet you like Micheal Bay films.

I don't know who Michael Bay is; possibly a director?

I understand the jibe, though, implying I enjoy cheap action rather than intellectual stimulation, but I think it reflects poorly on you, it showing that you consider Nausea a fine work of literature and/or philosophy. If you think this is 'deep', or what writers should aspire to, then you're operating at the level I was at circa 15.

Is that what Nausea is about? Nothingness?
What about making what you will of it?

>>2289396
Even if you don't know who Michael Bay is, (which is doubtful, at best) it's obvious that you have heard of this resource called the internet--a tool wherein people who aren't lazier that pig shit can type a simple search, comprising 10 seconds, to find out information.

Probably so you don't look like such a shut-in/ignorant shit.

I know you think you appear above it when you say stupid shit like "possibly a director?" but you don't. You just look like a guy who has no friends and never leaves the house.

Have any of you read Imagination?

I started reading it the other day and I'm enjoying it, though it's a bit too heavy for me. I just wanted to know how far I am from actually getting into Sartre. This is one of his earliest books of his, or so I read in the introduction, and I'm feeling dumb for being close in age with him and have this hard time with it.

As a person who has no friends and never leaves the house, I take exception to being classed with this ignoramus that you're having a discussion with.

Read Nausea. Wasnt impressed.

>> No.2290782

Sartre's okay. He's like Camus, only more of an asshole. Prefer his plays to his prose, though I appreciated Nausea after it got done sucking its own dick for eighty pages and on with the important shit.
