Was Sartre right? Is hell other people?

Answer 1

Yes. Read "no exit"

Answer 2

Relentless intellectualizing and philosophizing experiences to consider that this is indeed hell?.

Here is what Sartre says:
-----------------------------------
* [We are] among murderers. We are in hell, my dear, there is never a mistake and people are not damned for nothing.
- Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

* We are in hell and I will have my turn!
- Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

L'enfer, c'est les autres.

* Translation: Hell is other people.
* Jean-Paul Sartre

-----------------------------------------------------
Even Shakespeare agreed:
* Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
- William Shakespeare

Answer 3

The Truth in divine Love is hellish for some relativistic atheists, particularly as it enLightens and in-Forms same per the entangled sufferings each cause one another.

"I want to be alone" is a step before realization that "alone" is "All One," Plotinus' One Mind Soul-individuation which procedes even as Husserl's intersubjective community of monads, in non e-veiling (energy-veiling, eviling) Harmony and true "openness."

To move from "alone" (and surrounded by the focused, fiery Light of Truth's Love and Love's Truth) to "All One" is the path "know thySelf" the highest expression of which Plato understood to be knowing God, Plotinus' One Mind Soul-realization.

You might enjoy "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, for its brief but relevant discussion of e.g. Bergson and Kant, "A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov's teaching on the higher life or Plato's know thySelf goal, and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton.

Answer 4

In a sense, yes. Hell is in those with a lack of love, and a separateness of self from the whole connectedness of the universe.

Answer 5

Cool, I just read "No Exit" in my english class and we discussed this very thing.

I think the general idea was that hell is only specific other people, and only for eternity.

I think that hell could be anyone, but what makes it torture is that you can't leave, forever...

Answer 6

Yes he was right hell IS other people, but then again so is heaven.

(Nietzche is peachy but Sartre is smartre)

Answer 7

Hell can be other people, however sometimes we can be those other people who are hell to others.

Answer 8

no, Sarte was about as clueless as a todler if thats what he thought.

im quite the introvert and even i know how false that is. humans are social beings. hell is being alone.

Answer 9

I'd be inclined to say yes.
