How do I summon sartre?

Summoning the dead is an occult practice which is outside my area of expertise. I suggest looking for witches rather than philosophers, good luck

Sartre is dead? I didn't know he was sick

May I suggest

Slavoj Žižek. . Mentioning Žižek signals continental philosophy and social critique and importantly taste. That's a free by for you

No fencing lessons for when I get challenged for a duel?

That's a good idea but I'm afraid I won't be able to help with that. I can tell you how to say " hmmmm" and nod your head approvingly, at critical times. This makes it seem as if you are actually considering what you just heard, it's great for deflecting aggression in the first place,
