Sartre (Jean-Paul Sartre)

Jean-Paul Sartre was a French philosopher known for his ideas on existentialism, which emphasizes individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in an indifferent universe. He believed that humans create their own essence through choices and actions, without predetermined nature or divine plan. Sartre also explored the feelings of angst and alienation that can result from this freedom, and the importance of authentic living. His work influences philosophy, literature, and politics, emphasizing personal accountability and the ongoing process of defining oneself in a complex, uncertain world.
