The eye- maybe But the teeth- no!!!!

derp

As you probably know, /lit/, Jean-Paul has written a novel. Yes, Jean-Paul. The philosopher. The man who failed his university admission test and fucked every fart out of his sweet whorish Simone. The one who spend all his youth drinking coffee and taking drugs, the one who managed to equilibrate his professional and personal life keeping an eye on philosophy and Simone at the same time.

You all know him.

That said, how does it make you feel that Jean-Paul is a published author and you are not? How does it make you feel that he is able to get his book out there, regardless of whether it's a great piece of lit or not, and you are not?

>inb4 ghostwritten
Even if it was, someone who's good enough to render something publishable has settled for doing just that, secretly writing for a ugly exotropic french and not getting his/her own name on the cover of that book. How does it make you feel that someone good enough to write even a mediocre book has to settle for being the ghostwriter of a pervert?

nihilism looks one way, and existentialism looks the other

Is this a joke thread? Update your philosophy to sometime in the about last 120 years, bro.

The notion of essence preceding existence is metaphysical crap.

To say that essence precedes existence is not really to say anything at all.


but this is a joke thread, so why did I even type that?

Hello, /lit/; could you suggest one Sartre's book to start?

Problem?

>>3046648
Is this some kind of Sartre

>Ubermensch

I've not actually read anything by old googly-eyes, here, but I've heard a lot about him and existentialism.

I had heard that he put forth the claim that Parisians were more free under Nazi rule than they were out of it. Does he explain this in a book of his? If so, which one?

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

nigga just went full retard
