    Why did Camus and Sarte have a falling out?

    Question #21436. Asked by Albert.

    Barrow boy

    Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre fell out in the 1950s when Camus was denounced as being conformist. Sartre and Camus both wanted a new and more humane social {order;} whereas Sartre remained a violent revolutionary in theory, Camus rejected revolutionary excess. He was well aware of the atrocities carried out in both the French and Russian Revolutions.

    The disagreement resulted in Camus being rejected within the Parisian intellectual community whilst Sartre remained an icon of his time.
