A Sartre and de B<\/em>eauvoir screener from the 1950s.<\/em><\/p>\n

On this date in 1964 Jean-Paul Sartre<\/a> was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he refused.<\/p>\n

Frye in notebook 12 offers a qualified estimation of Sartre as the last of the “great thinkers” (elsewhere he calls him “an intellectual juvenile delinquent”):<\/p>\n

I had the usual childish fantasies, when very young, of wanting to be a “great man” — fantasies that in our day only Churchill had realized.\u00a0 But Churchill’s greatness was archaic: his funeral really buried that whole conception of greatness as a goal of ambition.\u00a0 Then I had fantasies of wanting to be a great composer & a great novelist–both obsolete conceptions today.\u00a0 The novel is breaking up into other forms & is no longer central as it was in the 19th c: the great composers ended with Bartok, and Boulez & Varese & Cage are not “great composers,” they’re something else.\u00a0 When I settled into my real line I naturally wanted to be “great” there too: but maybe greatness is obsolete.\u00a0 In the 19th century one wants to read Hegel & Marx & Kierkegaard & Nietzsche; are there really any 20th c. equivalents of that kind of “great thinker”?\u00a0 Maybe Sartre.\u00a0 But something about greatness ended<\/em> around 1940.\u00a0 We’re doing different things now.\u00a0 Marshall McLuhan is a typical example: a reputation as a great thinker that doesn’t think at all.\u00a0 (CW 9, 146)
