ara baliozian Posted June 5, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 In his memoirs (LES MOTS) Sartre himself is willing to concede that most of his early thought was misguided. His honesty was one of his most admirable qualities and I admire him for it. But again the central message of his philosophy (a combination of Husserl and Marx) has been bypassed. He is part of world literature, of course, and his name will never be forgotten; but compared to his position of eminence when he was alive, his stock has gone down considerably. By contrast, Camus’ has gone up – always comparatively speaking, of course…perhaps because Camus was smart enough not to be taken in by Soviet propaganda. Another writer who has been gaining in reputation is Marcel Proust. Still another whose stock has gone down is Kazantzakis…If we strayed too far from our original thread, please ignore this!
