Yes (I do). If one devotes a serious amount of time reading the major
works of both philosophers (Being and Time + Being and Nothingness) one
is hard pressed to find anywhere Sartre exceeds the master. This is not
to belittle Sartre, he was a formidible thinker, no doubt, but it is
perhaps a mistake to think that his philosophy replaces Heidegger.
