Why has Sartre fallen out of favor?

>> No.7762326

because people grow up

>> No.7762360

No one really disputes that life has no pre-set meaning. However, most people disagree with Sartre's ideas on freedom and responsibility.

We are not free (as Sartre would have you believe) because we live in Power systems of control. Foucault displaced many of Sartre's ideas dealing with the subject of freedom of citizens living within societies.

Because it turns out a googly-eyed kiddie-fiddler writing gobbledegook wasn't such a good guy after all.

Because Sartre is a sartir and existentialism is a vapid meme-version of Nietzsche's philosophy.

Which part of what I said was wrong?

Sartre and Simone were voracious paedophiles.

He's a ephemeral, like a rhyme to his name.

He was at least a century late with pushing that free will nonsense.

Yes they do. A large portion of philosophers are moral realists.
Happiness, for example, is intrinsically, undeniably good.

Dubs.

>> No.7763339

I honestly think it's because he's too simplistic and accessible for tryhards

>> No.7763372

structuralism, psychoanalysis, and poststructuralism replaced existentialism as the political philosophies du jour in paris, at the same time that sartre was annoying people with his trenchant stalinism and other behaviours

that's about it. barthes, deleuze, and foucault became trendy, and sartre's time was over.

>> No.7763421

"Life has no pre-set meaning" entirely ignores huge questions about how meaning comes into being and the processes of signicant communication that makes the chair in Nausea so familiar.

The discussion of meaning has been engulfed by Semiotics.

>> No.7763423

he was just a womanizing Zizek with a simpler philosophy

i fail to see what your example serves to clarify. Life can have no pre-set meaning and still contain that which is received as undeniably good, where here that which is received = happiness. The problem is when one begins to think that the source of happiness is objective and common throughout the human condition.

Wrong. If you do something immoral, it is wrong to feel happy about it.

>implying morals are objective

furthermore, here you wouldn't be critiquing the happiness so much as the action which gave rise to it. you get a C- anon
