What do you think of the break between Sartre and Camus?

From Camus's point of view, it is indeed a tragedy, because he is more emotional, and he is very affected by this, and even attracts the attention of his doctors. And the pen war between the two, it was also widely believed that Sartre had the upper hand at that time. Although later generations basically agree that Camus's position is correct.

Sartre didn't care too much, although Camus wrote a sensational article to commemorate it when he died, but later admitted that he deliberately sensationalized it for the sake of the beauty of the article.

Camus's death in a car accident is the real tragedy!

Again: The East China Normal University Press in Shanghai has published "Camus and Sartre: A Legendary Friendship and Its Disintegration" by Aronson, Ronald in the United States, which is a relatively new research work.

However, the author ** philosophy, admires Sartre more, and his position is not objective enough. If you want to understand the beginning and end of this dispute, it is better to read the "Biography of Camus" by Lijiang Publishing House, which is the work of Herbert R Lottman in the United States, and is the best biography of Camus in the Chinese version.

The most direct questioning and rebuttal of this left-wing view of violence was Sartre's friend, Camus, who broke with Sartre in 1952.

Both of Sartre's engagements are also vivid expressions of radicalismDetermine their differences of position, the act of intervention, and the criteria for alignment.

It is the respective moral principles, the key of which is how to view "violence" and "terror", and whether they need to be effectively controlled and interdicted on the basis of reality.

The People's Literature Publishing House has a book about Sartre's friendship with Camus and its breakdown. Not bad.

If the question is understood in terms of labels, then it is simple. As some of the explanations above, Label 1: Appearance.

Label 2: Outsiders. Label 3:

Modern writer. I think this is the reason why Camus can be more popular among the current literary youth. Because it conforms to the aesthetic of consumerism.

In the same group, there are also a group of writers from the Oriental camp, such as Osamu Dazai, Haruki Murakami, Yukio Mishima, etc., the recently popular mourning culture, as well as Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life", which has been misunderstood, and existential-style animations such as "Bojack Horseman", which are common symbols in the circle of friends and the Internet ** Chinese art circle. The label can be roughly understood as the rise of nihilism, and some people begin to think about the Socratic question of "why", but it opens the door to nihilism, and the popularity of Buddhism can also be seen as such a result. But after recognizing nothingness, people began to consume nothingness.

Camus's book sold best "The Outsider", and when I was browsing Douban, I saw many people saying that after reading this book, they felt that the protagonist was themselves, which is understandable. But Camus's other books are different, "The Plague", "The Myth of Sisyphus", "The Rebel", "The Fall". These are much lower than "The Outsider" on Douban.

Whether it can be understood in this way or not, everyone is just looking for recognition and understanding nothingness, but what existentialist philosophy really wants to say is the question of what to do.
