Jean-Paul Sartre was not just a philosopher; he was also a playwright, novelist, and even a war correspondent during World War II!
He famously refused the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, believing that writers should not allow themselves to be turned into institutions—talk about l’esprit libre!
Sartre’s famous line, “Existence precedes essence,” encapsulates his belief that we create our own meaning in life.
