French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre was an exponent of Existentialism, an advocate of human freedom and dignity, novelist, playwright, journalist, and a political thinker. He had absolute concern for human freedom. He had a firm conviction and belief that "Literature is committed, artistic creation is a moral activity." In his early years, he displayed an interest in Marxist Communism, but eventually, in his later years, turned to Socialism.

His work includes his discussions of trying to answer psychological questions by the method of phenomenology and the context of anthology.

As a philosopher and a writer, he was quite aware of what his duty was towards society. He stood as an inviolable example and undertook great efforts and pains to define and enforce his exemplitude in fiction, drama, political activity and teaching. His great skills as well as his astute insight and originality as a writer, won him accolades which were more than any other contemporary philosopher of his time.
