Summary
Jean-Paul Sartre remains one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, challenging how we understand life, freedom, and responsibility. In this book, readers are invited to explore the life, ideas, and legacy of a philosopher who believed that existence precedes essence—that we are not born with a fixed purpose, but define ourselves through our choices.
Through clear explanations, real-life examples, and thoughtful reflections, this book explores Sartre’s key concepts: freedom, authenticity, responsibility, and bad faith. It shows how his philosophy is not merely theoretical, but practical, guiding us to make conscious choices, live authentically, and engage meaningfully with the world. From personal decisions and relationships to social responsibility and ethical dilemmas, Sartre’s ideas remain profoundly relevant today.
