Today’s Final Jeopardy 5/16/2023 (Authors) – Tuesday, May 16 2023
In 1960 Jean-Paul Sartre wrote of this man’s “Victorious attempt… to snatch every instant of his existence from his future death”
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Tuesday, May 16 2023
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Albert Camus
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Tuesday, May 16 2023
Jean-Paul Sartre penned a memorial to Albert Camus, a French-Algerian writer and philosopher who died in an automobile accident in 1960 in the The Reporter Magazine which included the statement “the pure and victorious attempt of one man to snatch every instant of his existence from his future death” Sartre’s statements most likely refer to Camus’ passionate devotion to life and existentialist ideals.
Albert Camus was a well-known personality in the worlds of literature and philosophy, best known for works such as “The Stranger,” “The Plague,” “The Fall,” and “The Myth of Sisyphus.” In 1957, he was also awarded the Nobel Prise in Literature.
Despite intellectual differences, Sartre’s tribute to Camus reveals a genuine regard for his former friend’s devotion to enjoying life to the fullest, despite the inevitability of death.
