Somehow redpilled has come to mean rejection of the truth. Go back to /pol/. This isn't a redpilled board.

What does he actually have to say about existentialism? He's right about how and when it spread, but not he's really saying why, or talking about the consequences.

I've read enough of his repudiation of bourgeois literature to make some guesses.

Sartre's generation had serious tension with the mainstream basic bitch Marxists like the PCF and he definitely overhauled it with existentialism in opposition to them. There are certainly plenty of things to criticise about their approach, and the structural and poststructural were even worse according to many of these criticisms.

In a intense reduction, the system of Existentialist thought is anti-materialist, anti-Marxist and in denial of the true nature of reality.

>>9427859
Why though? Sartre's existentialism was materialist or at least potentially materialist. The conditions of human life are social and economic functions. The "world" into which we are "thrown" is not some relativist purely cultural thing, it's structured by socio-economic realities either directly or indirectly.

Sartre, on his bad faith idea, tried to show that admist everything wrong or opressive in our lifes, we can overcome this by becoming original and adaptaing our consciouness to realize that we, and only we, can make up our own future. I guess that this kind of system that prefers a neutral, subjetive transvaloration of self is something bad for Lukács. Or at least, wrong, since a pure neutral stance of life admist all chaos is something impossible. In an analogy to Habermas (which is someone i understand more deeply), i would guess that these kind of thought is more prevalent - we can become "authentic" only when we are working together, not alone.

that guy singlehandedly crippled literature in eastern block countries when they let him formulate "marxist" aesthetics in 1930s after killing off the avantgarde movements.

Well more or less. Existentialism by and large has been cannibalized into every serious philosophy today. Because it's pretty iron clad

existentialism doesn't provide any answers. it doesn't make you feel better to know that others are also drowning in self-doubt.

still waiting for philosophers to make the world a better place. come on, you assholes, you've had over four thousand years.
