Annie Cohen-Solal: Jean-Paul Sartre

[@johnleehudson7307]

🏆. Yes, her biography of Sartre is The Best Ever, & has been printed in many language translations. In English, as of Saturday May 25, 2013, the 602 page paper back sold for $23.95 before tax, San Francisco, CA. Based on this KZbin Video, I was convinced to first purchase the book. I could see from Annie's in depth insight & understanding of Sartre, what others that have tried to understand, have non @ all in comparison.♠

Although I know few French words I regret that Sartre's speech at 13:43 - 20:09 was not subtitled. Tant pis!

Why do I feel in the middle of a WOODY ALLEN movie.?

Can the mere fact of the matter be that, in ontologically working-out these problems we create this uniqueness, and if so, how substantial is that claim? If we create this subjective notion, what type of method will be ably, adapted so that these subjectivities become more objective in reality? Like Sartre’s, “Search for a Method”, we must discover through intellectual pursuits, how to unfold an objective reality, motivated through this inner and subjective dimension of Beings.

I always wonder how people can truly understand Sartre and still go about doing things like this. How did Sartre? Did Sartre understand Sartre? I'm being serious, sadly.

[@mxstrikk]

How, exactly, does one Sartre?

[@SagesseNoir]

Ironic that Sartre was drawn to aspects of American culture as I have been drawn to aspects of French culture. Sartre is reading Faulkner and Hemingway while I read Sartre, De Beauvoir, Camus etc.

a "man made of all men" is the first man""

[@SagesseNoir]

Someone says that ignorance of other cultures by American and French youth is not due to the breakdown of American and French civilizations, but because of overspecialization in education. But isn't overspecialization a sign and also a cause of the breakdown of civilization?

Sartre is not so difficult if you have a philosophical mind. If not : forget it. You won't miss much if you know that you can ask and answer your own philosophical questions by yourself. University philosophy can be very useful for some. But the aim of philosophy is to be put into practice in one's own life. Everybody can do so if they try and think and answer to questions by themselves. If reading a philosopher helps you doing so, fine ! If not, follow your own path.

[@SagesseNoir]

I like Sartre both as a philosopher and as a litrary writer. I like his plays more than his novels, but I do like his novels too.

Annie Cohen-Solal's hair was best after the very first adjustment she made to it right at the start. A most attractive lady. Not sure how Sartre would have reacted to this presentation. Nevertheless an interesting + useful intro in encouraging students to read Sartre for themselves.

American and Parisian accent I can figure them out. But RP ?… What is this ? There is no bourgeois accent in France anymore, as all adopted a "loose" way of talking (both in talking and writing) since '68. As far as accent is concerned class difference is less obvious than region origins. Except the immigrants and the new generations accents from the "banlieues". Then again a few grammar faults still play a heavy role as social markers (as "le stylo A Jean" instead of "le stylo DE Jean").

kind of? lol

Sartrean Nihilists who never had a job.

But pay attention to makeup

[@patkay5036]

This is worship of an apologist for Stalin and Mao. She's a propagandist, not a scholar.

Joseph Stalin was a complicated man and did a lot of weird things ..............
