Far be it from me to say anything nice of Walter Kaufman. His translations aren't much good either. But as far as most people who haven't really studied the topic are concerned, the genealogy I gave is what they'll know. Really, it goes something like this: And Hegel begat Kierkegaard and Husserl. And Husserl and Kierkegaard begat Heidegger, and Hegel and Heidegger begat Sartre. And behold! it was good. Of course, that's oversimplified (not to mention a bit tongue in cheek.) But it's clear that Sartre owed as much to Hegel as he does to Heidegger, and he owes a lot to Heidegger.
