Lines: 17 Xref: watmath net.politics:10450 net.religion:7404 Sartre & Camus were active in the anti-nazi resistance. Sartre in his opinions & philosophical views was a rigorous moralist. It's possible to make a case that "existentialism" as exemplified by Sartre, Camus & others is the continuation of European humanism. At any rate, it's bizarre to attribute any atmosphere of inhumanity to these writers in particular. Nietzsche influenced an entire generation or two, including people of all political orientations: eg, Hannah Arendt, the liberal "humanist" historian of totalitarianism, Reinhold Niebuhr, one of the most impor- tant Protestant theologians of this century, etc. Paul Dubuc's claims make no sense in the light of even a rudimentary knowledge of 20th century cultural history.
