jqsderrida said:Apparently I am various things simultaneously. My user name implies that I am the great, late, French poststructuralist Jacques Derrida. My avatar is of Sartre in the period following the publication of L'etre et le neant. A quote in my 'sig' is from the eminent German 'existentialist' Martin Heidegger from Being and Time. And, yes, I am studying 'pure' mathematics in Chicago. By the way, Sartre never wrote for the 'screen', as you say.
Sartre never wrote for the "screen" because all of his plays were "idea" or philosophical works. The characters represented his philosophy in human terms. You could just as easily make a screenplay out of one of his fictional pieces, such as "La nausee," as you could a play like "No Exit" or "The Flies."
By the way, Jacques, what brought you to the world of P.E.?
