Une renaissance sartrienne
Après l'enterrement de Sartre, en avril 1980, on eut l'impression que la France venait d'enterrer Victor Hugo pour la deuxième fois. Puis son œuvre s'embarqua dans une étrange aventure, faite de bonheurs et de malheurs, selon les pays et selon les époques. Dans cet essai, Annie Cohen-Solal porte sur cette pensée en mouvement un regard nouveau, nourri de ses voyages à travers le monde et des lectures auxquelles il lui a été donné d'assister. Car, pendant qu'en France on s'amusait à chercher des poux dans la tête de Socrate, les hommes en provenance d'Europe, d'Afrique, d'Asie, d'Océanie, des deux Amériques s'accordaient sur un point : le message de Sartre restait, aux yeux de leurs intellectuels, un outil de référence pour déchiffrer leur époque.

In 2013, she became special advisor at the Ecole Normale Supérieure for the Nuit Sartre ; in 2014, general curator of Magiciens de la terre 2014 at the Centre Pompidou, publishing Magiciens de la terre : retour sur une exposition légendaire, with Jean-Hubert Martin.

Está bien. Aprendí algunas cosas que no sabía sobre el filósofo francés. Pero no me gusta la comparación que la autora hace entre Sartre y Obama. A mis ojos Obama no es comparable con la genialidad y originalidad del filósofo francés. Obama es el típico presidente que por fuera es negro (y da una imagen progresista), pero tiene pensamiento de blanco.
