Jean-Paul Sartre

Forfatterbiografi

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) var en fransk forfatter, filosof og dramatiker, og en af det 20. århundredes mest markante fortolkere af eksistentialismen. Han blev født i Paris den 21. juni 1905 og døde i Paris den 15. april 1980. Som forfatter arbejdede han på tværs af genrer: han skrev romaner, skuespil, essays og filosofiske værker samt litterær kritik. Sartre er særlig kendt for sine tanker om frihed, ansvar og menneskets mulighed for selv at skabe mening i tilværelsen. Hans forelæsning og senere tekst L’existentialisme est un humanisme fremstiller centrale elementer i hans eksistentialistiske humanisme og blev en vigtig referenceramme for den brede udbredelse af hans ideer. Af større betydning for hans ry som tænkende forfatter og offentlig skikkelse står også værker som Being and Nothingness samt skuespillet Huis clos. Sartre modtog Nobelprisen i litteratur i 1964, men han afslog den offentligt, fordi han mente, at en sådan institutionalisering ikke harmonerede med forfatterens rolle. Samlet set har Sartres forfatterskab haft stor indflydelse på både litteratur og idéhistorie, især gennem koblingen mellem filosofi og litterær form.
