Jean-Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre was a prominent French philosopher, playwright, novelist, and political activist, best known for his role in existentialism and phenomenology. Born in 1905, Sartre's influential works, such as 'Being and Nothingness' and 'Nausea', grapple with concepts of freedom, responsibility, and the absurdity of existence. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964 but famously declined it, emphasizing his belief in the independence of writers from institutional recognition.
Born on Jun 21, 1905 (120 years old)
