Is he really that forgotten? Camus talks about him in "Myth of Sisyphus" and while I haven't read his work personally I definitely recognize his name from the "existentialist pantheon"
- amalgamated_inc 4y agofwiw I consider myself somewhat of an existentialist and I've never heard of him. Then again, I didn't manage reading Sisyphus, too boring and.. french.
- JenrHywy 4y agoIt's a bit of a slow burn, but the final section (the bit actually and Sisyphus) is beautiful. It's worth pushing though the earlier chapters to get to it.
- slibhb 4y agoHe's not literally forgotten but few read him compared to Heidegger and Sartre. Some of his writings aren't translated into English or are very rare.
- Archelaos 4y agoHe is definitely not forgotten in Heidelberg, where he lived and worked until 1948.
