I agree the kind of philosophy that DS would be interested in, the kind that he inadvertently practices, and the kind that's generally practiced in the US/UK tradition is the analytic sort. And that Sartre is worlds apart from this.

But I'm also a bit surprised nobody is coming to Sartre's defense here. I got a lot from Sartre, especially Being and Nothingness. Smart or not nobody is in any kind of position to understand Sartre at the age of 6, he deals with experience and the human condition. So - I'd suggest rereading BAN too.
