>no camus
>>9648676
That's right, no camus.
>>9648549
Wittgenstein, Adorno, Heidegger and Arendt.
>>9648676
>Thinking camus is a philosopher
You should read the response that sartre gave to some text Camus published in response to one of Sartre's friends. Rekt so hard that Camus had to kill himself a couple days after that
>>9648690
Kill himself in a car accident, i mean
>>9648549
Adorno, Zizek, Jameson. the rest is early-neoliberal dreck
>>9648690
Post it and maybe you'll change my mind that Camus is the better version of Satre.
Max Weber

>This book contains the first English translation of the five texts constituting this famous philosophical quarrel. Personally animated, passionately argued, polemically focused, this confrontation was as much a personal encounter as it was a theoretical debate. Alternating between stylistic brilliance and stinging sarcasm, each draws upon their years of past involvement as former friends both to make their criticisms more pointed and their theoretical critique more challenging. At the same time, their views serve as lightning rods for the wider cultural forces of which they are partial expressions.

These idiots are just regurgitating what their emasculated professors have put into their atrophied brains.
The greatest political mind of the century was Hitler, the greatest philosopher and jurist was Schmitt, the greatest esotericist was Evola, the greatest novelist Junger, and greatest magician Kenneth Grant.

If you want a shorter overview, lacking in detail but getting at the broad philosophical and moral differences of the fallout between Sartre and Camus, this summarizes it nicely. The video animation isn't bad either.

Hello /pol/, welcome to /lit/. We have frequent serious discussions about philosophy and literature here and you will find many fans of characters like Evola, including myself. That being said, we aren't /pol/tards who scream singleminded opinions without understanding it. Go ahead and do some research on protectionism and Distributionism.

>>9650239
Equating importance with your opinion.
:^)
The mark of a Petersontard.
Whether you care for his work or not, Derrida's notion of the Trace found in Of Grammatology was a breakthrough in modern thought that nearly every philosopher during and following utilized. You cannot argue the utility of the Trace without supporting self indulgent anti-intellectual forms of academic laziness.
>It's another everyone hates Sartre episode
>>9650286
but derrida doesnt argue that, and you're illiterate
>>9650318
derrida sucks whenever i see him mentioned i just think "derridont" lmao
>>9650303
why does everyone hate sartre? i practically forget he exists sometimes browsing this board
>>9650108
lol
Anyway, the real answer is: Frege. (Since he was forgotten for 40 years I'm going to count him as within the last century.)
>>9650266
This false-flagging Jew again.
>>9650286
Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps life isn't a grand Jewish conspiracy and such a scapegoat is just your own "evolutionary tactic" to cope with your powerlessness?
