I really don't like him. I've read only "Nausea" but it looked like it was written by an edgy depressed self centered emo teen who just likes to waste others time by his unnecessary nonsense.
Also, why the hell did he decline the Nobel premium? I see it as a way of showing everyone that he is "intelligent" and "different".

I think that it's because he didn't want to become a sort of product by being associated with such a title

Isn't he pretty liberal? I don't think he'll be popular here.

He said that's because the Nobel comittee was too focused on the West.

People on this site love to see without looking.

I'm not judging that decision, that's what it's saying in my class notes.

I'm also translating from french so it might not be exact.

Last time I checked /lit/ didn't have a political bias as we transcend such plebeian notions of reading for reassurance that you're an ok guy. Check the sticky. If we want to discuss Sartre we'll discuss Sartre.

I have to write an essay about him tommorrow and I still don't understand his concept about "existence precedes the essence"

>> No.4881067

His entire career was based on following whatever was popular with his students so he could bang them. Existentialism is popular? He became existentialism, oh, but now the Soviet Union freed Europe from the Nazis, everyone loves them, so he became a soviet apologist. Later he became a maoist, situationist, cultural marxist, anarchist, whatever could get him more pussy.
