But I can summarize why I want to do it now, by drawing on the two quotes above: “We make the road by walking” (the title of the book by Myles Horton & Paulo Freire, 1990), and “Pilgrims are poets who create by taking journeys” (Sue Monk Kidd, 2010).

It’s a story of revenge, of sadness, of family and what you’re willing to do for them, and it’s a story of determination determination for many things, but most of all to make things right, for justice. The plot instantly grabbed me and pulled me in. “Every little thing about you can be a weapon, if you’re clever enough.” She is one of the most interesting characters I’ve read in awhile, mostly because of her introspective dialogue.

To this aim, we will first report on and discuss some passages from Sartre’s early works where this debt is most noticeable. The aim of this paper is thus to investigate the influence of Scheler’s moral reflection on Sartre, arguing how it can represent an original and fruitful starting point to approach Sartrean ethics. Yet, even in Sartre’s early works there are several stances that blatantly belie this image, relying rather on an objectivist conception of value that he notably draws from Max Scheler. ![]() ![]() Jean-Paul Sartre is often portrayed as a philosopher whose ethics would inevitably have subjectivist or relativist outcomes. ![]() |
