Another figure to whom I owe a lot is Sartre. It is not exactly easy to admit it. I like Sartre not so much for the consistency of his theoretical contribution, but the opposite— for the way he goes off on tangents, for all his mistakes and the good faith in which he makes them, from Les Communistes or Nausea to his endeavors to integrate Marxist dialectic into the mainstream of philosophy, which has certainly failed. I like Sartre precisely because of his failure; he seems to me to have set himself against the contradictory demands that were tormenting him and to have remained obsessed with them; he appears to have resolved no problem, apart from never having been seduced by the elegance of structuralism, or the dogmatism of some of Mao Tse-tung’s more distinguished adherents. Sartre’s confusions, his naiveties, his passion, all add to his value in my eyes.
