Camus vs. Sartre (documentary)

[ISGarothh]

Satie? Camus?... I have everything I need.

[Mazurka1001]

Camus should have boxed the ears of the Stalinist coward. I always wondered how could a decent woman like de Beauvoir have stayed with the skunk.

[CaptainBluebear08]

I'd choose Sartre's sides. Camus was "un bel emmerdeur".

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

l'une des plus grandes batailles littéraires!

[inferno0020]

Both Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre hate Raymond Aron, whom i considered one of the most brilliant and the best intellectual in the 20th century. (Even though most of educated French hated Aron for playing a devil's advocate)

I imagine what Camus couldn't understand was how Sartre could sell not only him - his friend - down the river for failed ideology and logic, but to also defend a position of extreme hypocrisy.

I like Sartre's early work, but by the time of the rift he had nothing of value to contribute to philosophy. Camus will for me always be the bigger of the two men, and the bigger of the two minds.

[AbsurdMersault]

@sesquipedalophobic It is so.

[originsssunknown]

will spell it out for the stupid nazi...

in terms of his life camus lost his friends for the precise opposite reason that defines hitler or mussolini.

in terms of his ideas and literature - there is absolutely no sense to taking one idea [from a ten minute youtube video] out of context and suggesting that it's compatible with extreme right wing politics. it shows a complete ignorance and inability to come to terms with a writer's work... and even you should know that he opposed hitler!

[Mefisto1mced]

@originsssunknown it seems that reading is quite difficult, even if it is just a simple comment... 1. what i saw the 3 of them had in common was "there view about friendship", as it was written in my commentary... 2. i wasn´t referring as any such things as "right wing politics", or "concentration camps" as i never mentioned those ideas, and i never said that he was opposed or not to hitler, you clearly "overread" my comment! 3. "in terms of his life camus lost ...", what a senseless sentence

[DontPrayThink]

what song plays during the six minute mark?

[trista300]

@DontPrayThink

Erik Satie - Gnossienne 4

[mithrandirthewise]

@DontPrayThink Erik Satie - Gnossienne no.4

[Mefisto1mced]

Then Camus' point of view about friendship wasn´t much different from what Mussolini or Hitler conceived. All of them great men from the XX century

[figocooldude]

@Mefisto1mced Stop your bullshit.

[Mefisto1mced]

@figocooldude con qué argumentos pretendes desmentir un hecho objetivo? ( la 1° oración del comentario)

[figocooldude]

@Mefisto1mced You suck penis. 

[Mefisto1mced]

@figocooldude argumentos admirables sin duda, ya imagino el menudo escritor q seras

[figocooldude]

@Mefisto1mced And then you stick it up your... yes, yes, you guessed it.

[originsssunknown]

@Mefisto1mced did you miss the bit about concentration camps??

i suggest you watch i again...

[treid100182]

The Rebel is brilliant; one of the greatest essays of the 20th century. Fuck Sartre! Camus is the man.

[SmogHouseTradingCo]

@treid100182 Ha ha ha. To condemn one would be to condemn the other. My teacher in highschool said that they were the oposing sides of the same coin. I quite like that analogy.

[crud4]

But in the end Sartre ended up taking up a sort of individualist position...later in life. He sought (perhaps because of Camus) to nullify some of the more authoritarian aspects of communism. Theory and practice are two different things. Communism's major flaw is the use of a centralized state in the hands of a minority. A state under the control of a new ruling class just as a financial minority now controls the capitalist state and society.
