> Sartre is a footnote to Heidegger
Mais non. Jean-Paul was maybe the greatest mid-20th century dialectician of them all, with sparkling contributions to the early civil rights/New Left/May 68 movements, one of the great writers of world-history. His psychobiography of Flaubert is just mind-boggling.
> Derrida is yet another footnote to Heidegger,
Derrida owes most of his conceptual content to Husserl's logical absolutism, a very different lineage than Heidegger's fundamental ontology.
