There are about a 100 reasons to think Sartre is a complete moron, his philosophy alone, not even referencing his being a tankie and a pedo, that I would argue it's an indisputable fact.
>Misunderstand Heidegger and Kierkegaard >"existence precedes essence" >Kill off existentialism for good so edgy teens think it's about le meaning of life is subjective lol >stupid ass free will arguments >just copy everything else that he could barely understand without adding anything >Get BTFO'd by Heidegger >Despite pretending to read Hegel his philosophy is entirely ahistorical >Have the gaul to tell Camus that he doesn't understand Kierkegaard (correctly, but whatever)
Normies who like him really fucking annoy me
Cooper Barnes
You'd think he and Simone abusing students together might have been enough to put the normie pseuds off of him, but lo and behold...
Jordan Ortiz
>>Have the gaul clever
Parker Gonzalez
I kinda agree, I don't see what's so good about Sartre and why he's mentioned so often. It was probably his implication in politics plus theater.
Nolan Bell
It's funny how they get a free pass on that, but god help some historical figure if they have a non-modern outlook on race or gender.
Ian Sullivan
It's also muh atheism. There was a guy called Marcel who did the same shit as Sartre (but was less of a tool, though just as boring) but because he was a Catholic-existentialist who happened to have a semi-ok understanding of Kierkegaard he got pretty much ignored.
I'm not fussed about that, because he was materialist scum, but he would be better than Sartre.
Ryder Bailey
It's considered normal for writers to be perverts. Lots of people think de Sade was cool even though his writings are full of pedophilia and rape.
Adrian Gutierrez
yeah, Sartre is pretty bad also a bad embarrassingly didactic writer
Jaxon Ward
everyone was a sex criminal in the 60s, and the "radical" french intellectual class is actually extremely authoritarian, you can't say anything against their idols
Ayden Taylor
>Normies who like him really fucking annoy me that's the actual reason why you dislike sartre and see reasons to think he is a moron
Jeremiah Edwards
no these are the actual reasons why op doesnt like him >>Misunderstand Heidegger and Kierkegaard >>"existence precedes essence" >>Kill off existentialism for good so edgy teens think it's about le meaning of life is subjective lol >>stupid ass free will arguments >>just copy everything else that he could barely understand without adding anything >>Get BTFO'd by Heidegger >>Despite pretending to read Hegel his philosophy is entirely ahistorical >>Have the gaul to tell Camus that he doesn't understand Kierkegaard (correctly, but whatever)
Carter Robinson
kek
Logan Anderson
Can confirm from feminist slut who i used to slap strangle choke and spit on. She loved de sade
Sartre was a "rockstar" philosopher. And people incorrectly put him in liniage with Nietzsches because of that. Truly hes one of the most useless of all popular philosophers not a single thing he wrote is worth reading.
Joseph James
You can't even offer a half-assed defence of him so you simply ignore my solid criticisms of him in favour of the "normie" line? Well aren't you the smart one.
William Rivera
Trips of truth, but they so well embed themselves politically that its either cede the point of be of unfashionable opinion which is academic career suicide
Luis Young
I'm not saying you're wrong about those, but what triggers you is clearly the fact that he's popular
Robert Kelly
"... he was not a strong philosopher ..." "... not a very good writer either ..."
Luis Ortiz
says who
Landon Jones
If he was unpopular you would just say this thread is pointless nobody cares. Fuck off, not even that guy.
Obviously the issue is bad ideas plus popularity.
Gavin Wilson
actually nobody here really explained why he was bad or wrong
Angel Flores
The critics, all of them
Dominic Cruz
Camus is popular. Kierkegaard and Hegel are popular. Heidegger is popular. I like all of them.
Hell, my favourite is Socrates and he's *the* mainstream philosopher. You are grasping at straws, stop being a faggot.
Logan Johnson
I mean ok
>Kierkegaard and Hegel are popular. Heidegger is popular. only with qualified people, Sartre is broadly popular, many plebs know and adore him. Hegel not so much.
Blake Campbell
>only with qualified people, Sartre is broadly popular, many plebs know and adore him. Hegel not so much.
More's the fucking pity. You may as well that Bieber is popular, but Beethoven less so. Doesn't mean the former is better.
Jaxon Nguyen
>stop being a faggot then explain why sartre is actually bad >>stupid ass free will arguments doesn't look like a good argument
Dylan Lewis
Read Heidegger and Kierkegaard and learn a thing or two about existentialism.
"Existence precedes essence" this is wrong from the get go. He didn't understand a single thing he was talking about.
Anthony Wilson
more like Bieber and Alban Berg
Landon Bennett
Sartre is probably the first public intelectual of the post-modern world, him on the continental world and Russell on the analytical proved you don't really need philosophy to be a "philosopher" (not that they didn't publish anything of worth, I know Russell is very important for logics), you just need to have some heavy OPINIONS and look like what the public wants a philosopher to look like.
See: Noah and Slavoj
Brayden Brown
Slavoj is pretty dank tho
Jaxon Martinez
He thought essence was experienced through the objectification process and seen as meaningless by an other. His attempt was to formalise nihilism.
He was literally so retarded he didn't recognize if the objectification process goes the other way his whole theory is destroyed.
He never argued for why the objectification process would be negative always unless we just assume it through bullshit French ennui.
This was foundational to his entire existential theory.
That's why
He later renounced being and nothingness himself and said he wished to be remembered by his plays... Lol
Lucas Martin
he also renounced existentialism is a humanism. He even knows he's useless.
Henry Collins
Not an argument.
Christian Turner
I don't argue with idiots. You've never read any of their works, I see no reason to convince someone who will never have a bearing on anything.
Lincoln Hall
He's a bullshitting Slovenian who gets torn apart on Youtube, never mind real life.
William Phillips
manchilds pink fantasy
Brandon Gutierrez
Noah who?
Tyler Brooks
Probably meant Gnome Chumpsky.
Juan Gray
These are two names that the average person has never heard of. It's a self reinforcing cycle. Sartre is discussed so often because so many people know him and no other major philosophers. So many people know him because he's discussed so often and so on.
