The article says "was" but it's in the category living people? Why is Wikipedia so hopelessly lazy? Can whoever wrote this article try and find out if she's alive or dead, or if that's not possible to determine, reword the article accordingly.
- WP can be edited by anyone, even yourself, Anonymous. Please feel free to not be "hopelessly lazy" and make appropriate changes. Regardless, the tense has been altered. Cheers RobLinwood 01:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Errors in Hazel Barnes' translation of "Being and Nothingness"
When I was a postgraduate at Southampton University in the late 1970s, the late professor of philosophy, Anthony Manser, produced a long typescript of errors in Barnes' translation of "Being and Nothingness". Manser spoke French fluently, and wrote several works about Sartre, so his corrections should be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, I have (at present) no idea of whether the typescript still exists. I do recall that it was just under 40 A4 pages in length.
This note does not constitute an attack - personal or otherwise - on Professor Barnes: rather, it notes that one of her translations was, in parts, not as good as it might have been.
