      This book is both spellbinding and educational about the life and times of Sartre. I started listening to induce sleep, but it woke me up. Beautifully and elegantly written by a master of English prose. I completed the reading experience with a greater insight into atheism. Without the authority of God, all is vanity and sophistry, when it is all boiled down. The Ten Commandments do not need to be analyzed, only obeyed. This is an absolute morality as opposed to the swamp and morass of Sartre’s moral relativism based on his apparent lifelong narcissistic attempt to rise above the law: man-made law, natural law, and divine law. At the end of the day he can be seen as a driven man like Adolf Hitler, with purpose and direction in life to become a great cult leader. And with 25,000 spontaneously attending his funeral, he achieved that status. Existentialism appears a kindred spirit to the satanic cult of Ordo Templi Orientis i.e., “do what thou wilt’ in the absence of any guiding principles. The Ten Commandments solve a lot of philosophical pseudo problems for the ordinary reasonable man or woman who has neither the time nor inclination to have their values and mind scrambled by Satre’s unblocked and probably high functioning autistic mind with an extremely high IQ. His Nobel Prize for literature was news to me. Give me Bob Dylan any day.
