About Jean Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, and political activist, best known for his foundational role in existentialism and phenomenology. His influential works, such as "Being and Nothingness" and "Nausea," explore themes of freedom, absurdity, and the human condition, while his play "No Exit" famously encapsulates his views on human relationships and existential angst. A prominent figure in 20th-century intellectual life, Sartre also engaged in various political movements, advocating for socialist and anti-colonial causes throughout his life.
