Diogenes Jun 2020 9:55am, 17 Jun 2020 49,920 posts	0 Diogenes Sartre - Hell is other people [Sartre offered a clarification about his much misunderstood phrase: "Hell is other people" has always been misunderstood [ ] Why? Because … when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves … we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. As Rugnetta explains: "Hell is other people because you are, in some sense, forever trapped within them, subject to their apprehension of you."]
