Sartre says this too
'Those dead who have not been able to be saved and transported to the boundaries of the concrete past of a survivor are not past; they along with their pasts are annihilated' p.112, Being and Nothingness, J-P S.

I have that book on my shelf
It's HUGE, and was a cunt to read, and made me hate Sartre.

I love what he says
Just wish it wasn't written in obscure/complex English. The translated works of Socrates/Plato are just as fruitful for interesting ideas, but far easier to read.

Ah...happy days.
EDIT - You did a philosophy degree, didn't you?

Yes I did
And I used the allegory of the cave in my dissertation (when talking about The Matrix, how once Neo has seen outside the cave he is unable to return to it).
