The friendship of Camus and Sartre went from bromance to bitter hatred. The two giants of 20th-century philosophy first became friends during WW2 but the friendship was doomed to fail. The conflict of Camus vs. Sartre boils down to their political philosophy. The philosophy of Albert Camus was one of peace and valued the individual human being; the philosophy of Jean Paul Sartre on the other hand emphasised the need to end oppression and colonialism.
Sartre and Camus falling out was one of the major events of 20th century philosophy. It represented two paths forward in the world. In this episode of the living philosophy we explore the friendship of Camus and Sartre and the bitter feud that brought it to an end.

Camus' criticism of Sartre is shockingly applicable to today's intellectuals, almost 100 years later. Disconnected from real life, and shockingly uncaring for regular people in the name of dreams... yet that's exactly what they accuse literally everyone else of being.

I have always liked Camus' writing but this video made me love him even more. A compassionate socialist with no stomach for violence or injustice. Man after my own heart.

For me, the difference between Camus and Sartre is that you can find Camus' most famous novels in a used bookstore fully marked up and underlined--they were read, re-read, and read again very closely. Sartre, on the other hand, is hard to find in a used bookstore. In a regular bookstore, the only thing you're likely to find is Being and Nothingness--new, and unread. Odds are, you'll buy it in your 20's and it'll gather dust on your shelf well into your 40's. Maybe it says more about our culture than the writers, but the people have spoken. My own copy of The Stranger passed through at least 6 owners and is as marked up as a subway bathroom. I like that about it.

I rebel. Therefore, I exist. The mystery of life lies not in staying alive, But in finding something to live and die for.

I truly appreciate what you're doing. Philosophy has been a lifelong interest of mine, but I sometimes go for periods of time without delving into the thickets of its weeds. All of your videos have a high level of information density, but are presented with utmost clarity, and you imbue them with a personal element that keeps things engaging. This is just the sort of material that keeps my passion for philosophy alive.

Bravo! Well done. I ā€œmetā€ Camus while in high school in France and 45 years later he continues to be at the core of how I have lived my life. And you could not have described him any better!

Really interesting video. Your account of Camus and how Sartre attacked him really has lessons for today when anybody who attempts to take a nuanced view on politics or moral debate is trashed and derided.

Thank you. It always irritates me how these two are bracketed together. Camus was not only the superior thinker and writer, he was the superior man - as you point out by studying their respective lives.

Canā€™t get over how good this is. Watched it over and over and showed it to my friends who arenā€™t normally interested in this kind of thing. Loved it.

I grew up in a fundamentalist cult, which I left at 17 to join the military; I read The Myth of Sisyphus after my release and it largely shaped my personal outlook. I completely empathise with your emotional assessment. The trouble with the historical right is that they're typically rather exclusionary, but the trouble with the left is that they're often so utterly unlikeable. We aspire to be Camus, yet we find ourselves so often in the company of Sartre.

After 50 years of distinguishing between Camus' and Sartre's philosophies, this is the best contrast I've come across.

I think your well presented thesis between the two philosophers has proven themselves of time. Camus has grown to be appreciated and much loved. On the other hand Satre is fading in comparative popularity. I can only see this divergence increasing over time.

I think Camus' position on Algerian Independence is pretty indefensible. He basically dismissed the movement as an "emotional response", refused to entertain any other system than French control, and dared to justify it as a prevention of "Kadarization of Europe and isolation of America". I wonder if he'd justify America's interventions in South America and the Middle East in the same way.

When Covid Started I read Camus' "The Plague" and that prepared me completely to the stresses and complexity of society we witnessed here.

I love this! My GF is a huge philosophy reader and I'm a novice on the subject. I am looking forward to growing my knowledge, and my "sense of place" watching more of your videos. Critical thinking and an appreciation in knowledge/history are lacking in this society IMP. I have the upmost respect for your time and intellectualism on philosophy.

I'm here due to Externalised's suggestion! And what a suggestion it has been; fantastically eloquent and well-constructed exploration of the relationship between Sartre and Camus. Thank you! And keep up the great content!
