And then, French scholarship and culture is not as cracked up as it's supposed to be. The French complain about the heavy dose of American films on their TV channels, but where are their own films? As for books, the French still have good novelists but where are their books of scholarly value? I can't recall a single one in the last 10 or 20 years. They are still quoting Sartre and his reprehensible existentialism.[snip]
I would nominate Pierre Hadot, for one author, and Jacques Ellul for another. (I don't read much French stuff.) I think the film Mon Oncle d'Amerique was 1990. Gerard Despardieu is, I think, still working his craft.
"Sartre and his reprehensible existentialism" -- Please specify what is REPREHENSIBLE about it.
