Sartre’s Spirit World

October 15, 2008October 15, 2008

Wry Catcher’s question whether the notion of spirit world addiction reminded me of Jean Paul Sartre’s Les Jeux Sont Faits, which is particularly interesting to Mormons because Sartre’s description of the afterlife happens to coincide with commonly held notions of the spirit world.

    Chandelle — I know how you feel. When I posted the above comment, I asked myself “How can I be saying that a spot about Hinkley’s death is hilarious?” But really it’s nothing disrespectful about Hinkley.
