A Stockbroker's Philosophy

[TranquillityBase]

Tqb,

I love the reference to Nietzsche's "Eternal Recurrence." I love his gnomist, aphoristic style in many of his works. I feel he is quite misunderstood.........I realize Sartre coined the term, "Existentialism," but retroactively appointed Nietzsche as a janissary thereof. Dostoyevsky, Faulkner, Camus, Beckett and others fall under this appellation as well.
You had requested texts on phenomenology- Sartre's Nausea would be a seminal work, albeit fiction. It predates Being and Nothingness but I have learned that if you want to 
isolate a philosopher's presuppositions, query his fiction. Hope it helps......

I love and periodically re-read Sartre's trilogy and did read Nausea decades ago.  Being and Nothingness is probably beyond my reach, but perhaps it's time to try again.  I'm still contemplating responding to my stock guy, but I'm not sure he'd appreciate a critique of his email.  I just wonder who reads this and says "Yep, I'm reassured I won't lose my retirement."
