Interesting. I got into that particular theme because my professor said that Sartre was a humanist while Camus was not. I came to see that she was looking at La chute (The Fall?) and The Flies whereas I was looking at Nausea and The Plague. But still. Sartre strikes me as being very coldly intellectual overall. A lot of his characters are Resistance fighters though, which may account for it. (Les mains sales.-Dirty Hands?)
