37453722.Pdf Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) In the aftermath of World War II, a little-known writer and teacher, Jean-Paul Sartre, emerged as an intellectual and literary leader, gaining worldwide celebrity as the prophet of Jean Paul Sartre Paris 1948 existentialism. As Europeans tried to make sense of three decades of instability and destruction, existentialism became the most fashionable philosophical stance—its idea of absurdity within a meaningless universe rang true to those who faced bombed-out buildings, occupation and concentration camps. Though Sartre was not the first existentialist, he was certainly the most famous, and an international cult grew around him, his companion, the feminist Simone de Beauvoir, and their Paris meeting place, the Café de Flore. In his writings and political activity, Sartre warned against succumbing to repressive conformity, championing instead an authentic, engaged life. Born in Paris, Jean-Paul never knew his naval officer father, who died when Jean-Paul was still an infant. His mother, a cousin of the famous Albert Schweitzer, and his grandparents raised him. He graduated from the École Normale Supérieure in 1929 and between 1931 and 1939 taught philosophy at Le Havre, Laon, and Paris. In 1932 he traveled to Berlin to study the philosophies of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. Jean Paul Sartre 1906 Sartre wrote several psychological works before his first novel, the autobiographical Nausea, brought him recognition in 1938. In Nausea, the protagonist Roquentin experiences disgust at the fact that people exist despite the fact that there is no reason to exist. The novel, as well as a collection of short stories, The Wall, expressed Sartre’s idea that to face an absence of abslolute values, one must engage in acts of creation. In 1939 Hitler’s forces attacked Poland and France declared war. Sartre was drafted and stationed in Alsace on meteorological duties. He was captured in June 1940 and spent almost a year in a German Soldier Sarte 1939 prison camp. There he found a deep comradeship with his fellow prisoners: “In the Stalag I found a form of collective life that I hadn’t come across since the École Normale.” For his fellow prisoners, he produced an anti-Nazi propaganda play cloaked as a “very moving Christmas mystery.” My first experience in the theatre was especially fortunate. When I was a prisoner in Germany in 1940, I wrote, staged, and acted in a Christmas play which, while pulling the wool over the eyes of the German censor by means of simple symbols, was addressed to my fellow prisoners. No doubt it was neither a good play not well acted: the work of an amateur, the critics would say, a product of special circumstances. Nevertheless, on this occasion, as I addresses my comrades across the footlights, speaking to them o their state as prisoners, when I suddenly say them so remarkable silent and attentive, I realized what theatre ought to be—a great collective, religious phenomenon. (“The Forgers of Myths,” 1946) In 1941 he escaped and joined the underground Resistance movement in occupied Paris, writing for the magazines Les Lettres Française and Combat. During the Occupation, Sartre wrote some of his most influential works, expressing his insistence on moral responsibility and active engagement in shaping one’s life. The play The Flies, a reworking of Euripides Orestes, premiered in 1943, its anti-authoritarian themes of revenge and justice eluding the Nazi censors due to its ancient setting. That same year, Sartre published Being and Nothingness, his theoretical analysis of the human condition, in which he argues that the “nothingness” of human essence allows each person infinite possibilities to shape his or her life. No meaning is attached to a person’s life; rather, each must forge meaning through choices and commitment to a role in the world: we create ourselves. Sartre’s second play, No Exit, completed in the first months of 1944 was rehearsed in Beauvoir’s bedroom under the direction of Sartre’s colleague Albert Camus. Exigencies of the Occupation intervened (including the arrest of the lead actress), and the production was scuttled, though it finally premiered just before the liberation of France, in May 1944 at Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier, under the direction of Raymond Rouleau. Originally titled The Others, Sartre changed it to Huis clos, meaning “behind closed doors,” or, as a legal term, “in camera.” The play is most popularly known in English as No Exit. The play’s most famous expression, “Hell is other people”, Sartre partially explained in his preface to the Deutsche Gramophone recording of No Exit in 1965: Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. Which means that if my relations are bad, I am situating myself in a total dependence on someone else. And then I am indeed in hell. And there are a vast number of people in the world who are in hell…. I wanted to show by means of the absurd the importance of freedom to us, that is to say the importance of changing acts by other acts. No matter what circle of hell we are living in, I think we a re free to break out of it. Sartre learned much about theatrical production through his friendship with the great director Charles Dullin, and he was fascinated by the art of acting, that an actor creates a character the audience agrees to believe, while at the same time knowing the actor is not, in fact, the character. After the war, Sartre devoted himself to writing and political activity. He founded the political and literary review Modern Times, the primary forum for existential ideas. The Café de Flore, where Sartre, Beauvoir and the circle of intellectuals surrounding them met and argued, became a Mecca for intellectuals, disciples and curiosity seekers. His writing inluded Existentailism and Humanism in 1946, and What Is Literature?in 1948, in which Sartre posited that literature should concern itself with human freeedom and that writing is a moral activity. His trilogy, The Roads to Freedom (1945-1949) drew on his experiences during the war. Sartre also wrote several biographies, Sartre & Beauvoir 1947 including Saint Genet: Actor and Martyr (1952), about writer and convicted felon Jean Genet. It is through his dramatic works, however, that Sartre and his philosophy were most known. His plays dealt with racism, collective responsibility, the conflicts of politically engaged intellectuals, the creation of character, and, of course, human freedom. They include The Victors (1946), The Respectful Prostitute (1946), Dirty Hands (1948), The Devil and the Good Lord (1951), an adaptation of Dumas’ Kean (1953), Nekrassov (1955), The Condemned of Altona (1959), an adaptation of Euripides’ The Trojan Women (1965) and several screenplays, including an adaptation of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. In 1964 Sartre published The Words, an account of his childhood. His final work was a three-volume of biography of Gustave Flaubert, called The Idiot of the Family (1971-72) Sartre embraced communism without ever joining the party, and spent much time reconciling existentialism’s focus on individual self-determination with Marxism’s concern with socioeconomic forces. His early support of Stalinist policies led to his split with Camus—Sartre suggesting that in some cases the ends may justify the means. The Soviet invasion of Hungary led Sartre to distance himself with Soviet communism. He became an outspoken critic of French rule in Algeria, and supported the violent Algerian struggle for independence, leading an anti-Algerian group to bomb Sartre’s apartment. His Algerian mistress, Arlette Elkaïm, became his adopted daughter in 1965. At the invitation of philosopher Bertrand Russell, Sartre was a part of an effort to expose U.S. war crimes in Vietnam known as the Russell Tribunal. Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964, for work which, “rich in ideas and filled with the spirit of freedom and the quest for truth, has exerted a far- reaching influence on our age.” Sartre refused the prize saying that “a writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution.” Despite his fame, Sartre led a relatively simple life with few possessions. Constant work, amphetamine use and a love of tobacco took their toll on Sartre’s health. (“Smoking is the symbolic equivalent of destructively appropriating the entire world,” said Sartre.) He died Jean Paul Sartre 1979 on April 15, 1980 from an edema of the lung. His funeral wound its way through the streets of Paris, attracting more than 25,000 people, from movie stars to dignitaries to average Parisians for whom the name of a philosopher-playwright had become a household word.

In this article, using the French example, we propose a study of some of the actors and debates that structured this history. Strangely enough, it was not a “classic” experimental psychologist, but Pierre Naville (1904– 1993), a former surrealist, Marxist philosopher, and sociologist, who can be identified as the initial promoter of Watson’s ideas in France. However, despite Naville’s unwav- ering commitment to behaviorism, his weak position in the French intellectual com- munity, combined with his idiosyncratic view of Watson’s work, led him to embody, as he once described himself, the figure of “the damned behaviorist.” Indeed, when Naville was unsuccessfully trying to introduce behaviorism into France, alternative theories defended by philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty explic- itly condemned Watson’s theory and met with rapid and major success. Both existen- tialism and phenomenology were more in line than behaviorism with what could be called the “French national narrative” of the immediate postwar. After the humiliation of the occupation by the Nazis, the French audience was especially critical of any deterministic view of behavior that could be seen as a justification for collaboration.

  • Jean-Paul Sartre
    From the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Jean-Paul Sartre Christina Howells Biography Sartre was a philosopher of paradox: an existentialist who attempted a reconciliation with Marxism, a theorist of freedom who explored the notion of predestination. From the mid-1930s to the late-1940s, Sartre was in his ‘classical’ period. He explored the history of theories of imagination leading up to that of Husserl, and developed his own phenomenological account of imagination as the key to the freedom of consciousness. He analysed human emotions, arguing that emotion is a freely chosen mode of relationship to the outside world. In his major philosophical work, L’Être et le Néant (Being and Nothingness)(1943a), Sartre distinguished between consciousness and all other beings: consciousness is always at least tacitly conscious of itself, hence it is essentially ‘for itself’ (pour-soi) – free, mobile and spontaneous. Everything else, lacking this self-consciousness, is just what it is ‘in-itself’ (en-soi); it is ‘solid’ and lacks freedom. Consciousness is always engaged in the world of which it is conscious, and in relationships with other consciousnesses. These relationships are conflictual: they involve a battle to maintain the position of subject and to make the other into an object. This battle is inescapable. Although Sartre was indeed a philosopher of freedom, his conception of freedom is often misunderstood. Already in Being and Nothingness human freedom operates against a background of facticity and situation. My facticity is all the facts about myself which cannot be changed – my age, sex, class of origin, race and so on; my situation may be modified, but it still constitutes the starting point for change and roots consciousness firmly in the world.

  • What Is Literature? (Excerpt)
    14 Writing Literature is the art form in which Sartre expresses his own philosophy. The novels and plays are strewn with characters in bad faith: Garcin in No Exit, Goetz in The Devil and the Good Lord, the senator in The Respectable Prostitute, Hugo in Dirty Hands, Franz in Altona, Lucien in the short story ‘Childhood of a Leader’ in The Wall, Daniel in The Roads to Freedom, Kean in the play of that name, and of course, the café waiter who features not only in The Age of Reason, the first volume of The Roads to Freedom, but in Being and Nothingness. Opposed to them, but fewer in number, are the characters who in differing degrees recognise their own freedom: Mathieu in Iron in the Soul (but not in The Age of Reason and The Reprieve), Oreste in The Flies, the tortured resistance fighters in Men Without Shadows, Lizzie in The Respectable Prostitute, Roquentin in Nausea. Works of fiction provide a criterion for the truth of a ‘humanistic’ philosophy such as Sartre’s existentialism. Sartre draws a sharp distinction between literature and science: Literature is ambiguous but each sentence of science or philosophy has, or should have, one and only one meaning. Sentences of literature may have multiple meanings, or may express different propositions. This presents Sartre with a dilemma. To the extent to which the sentences making up his novels, stories and plays are ambiguous they do not serve as a vehicle for his philosophy. To the extent to which they are unambiguous, they are not literature, at least by his own criterion.

    EasyChair Preprint № 2973 Jean-Paul Sartre’s Concept of Atheism as Existential Phenomenological Humanism Ryan Cutamora EasyChair preprints are intended for rapid dissemination of research results and are integrated with the rest of EasyChair. April 6, 2020 Jean Paul’s Sartre’s Concept of Atheism as Existential Phenomenological Humanism Ryan Ramos Cutamora [email protected] Abstract. This article exposes Sartre’s concept of atheism as existential phenomenological humanism which dismisses God on the basis of being a creator who determines our essence in advance. The researcher’s objective is to expose Sartre’s concept of atheism as existential phenomenological humanism. The study will use the methodological hermeneutics as the theoretical framework. Sartre’s atheism is a form of existential phenomenological humanism, and such evaluation is plausible and true. This claim is being reinforced by the relevant elements of Sartre’s idea. The meaning of life has to invade our sincere concerns about the mystery of our existence through existential phenomenological humanism. Therefore, the researcher concludes that existential phenomenological humanism is a humanism which is based on existentialist and phenomenological reading of human existence which proposes that man is responsible for everything because when he finds himself thrown; he discovers that he is responsible for everything. It is existential because it says that man is thrown into the world with no inherent purpose. It is phenomenological because it deals with the life-experience of being thrown into existence. Furthermore, the researcher’s study is situated not on metaphysical speculation of divine causes nor transcendent external principles but on concrete life experience of an individual thrown project.

Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Jean-Paul Sartre First published Thu Apr 22, 2004; substantive revision Mon Dec 5, 2011 Sartre (1905–1980) is arguably the best known philosopher of the twentieth century. His indefatigable pursuit of philosophical reflection, literary creativity and, in the second half of his life, active political commitment gained him worldwide renown, if not admiration. He is commonly considered the father of Existentialist philosophy, whose writings set the tone for intellectual life in the decade immediately following the Second World War. Among the many ironies that permeate his life, not the least is the immense popularity of his scandalous public lecture “Existentialism is a Humanism,” delivered to an enthusiastic Parisian crowd October 28, 1945. Though taken as a quasi manifesto for the Existentialist movement, the transcript of this lecture was the only publication that Sartre openly regretted seeing in print. And yet it continues to be the major introduction to his philosophy for the general public. One of the reasons both for its popularity and for his discomfort is the clarity with which it exhibits the major tenets of existentialist thought while revealing Sartre's attempt to broaden its social application in response to his Communist and Catholic critics. In other words, it offers us a glimpse of Sartre's thought “on the wing.” After surveying the evolution of Sartre's philosophical thinking, I shall address his thought under five categories, namely, ontology, psychology, ethics, political commitment, and the relation between philosophy and the fine arts, especially literature, in his work.
