In France, few people have been so unanimously criticised on the occasion of their centennial as Sartre was in 2005. Apart from Les Temps Modernes and Libération (of which he was the founder), virtually the entire press echoed the same clichés, portraying him as a bad teacher, an old-fashioned thinker or an impostor. The magazine L'Histoire picked up on old, unscientific insinuations about the philosopher's activities during the Nazi occupation. Le Nouvel Observateur continued the salvo, with the catchy headline ‘Faut-il brûler Sartre?’
