Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus
Both atheists
Both French (sort of - Camus from Algeria)
Both live through the horror of World War 2
Both believe life is meaningless.
Absurd.
Both have lots of affairs
(But Camus is handsome
And Sartre is, um, not)
Both resist the Nazis
But Camus says Sartre
Was a writer who resisted
Not a resister who wrote.
Sartre's titles: Nausea, No Exit, Being and Nothingness. And he believes that
Hell is other people.
Camus: I rebel; therefore, we exist.
