Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) forced a generation to confront a radical idea: existence precedes essence.
We are not born with a fixed nature — we create ourselves through choices. That freedom is powerful… and unsettling. 🧠
In Being and Nothingness and Existentialism Is a Humanism, Sartre explored authenticity vs. "bad faith" — the temptation to hide from responsibility.
Philosopher, playwright, activist, public intellectual — he believed ideas must live in the world. ✍️🔥
Freedom is not optional. It is our condition.
