Introduction of Sartre and Beauvoir

Jean-Paul Sartre (195-198), one of the most important French philosophers in the 2th century, the main representative of French atheism existentialism and one of the most active advocates of western socialism, refused to accept any prizes in his life, including Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964.

Beauvoir was born in Paris in 198. In 1929, she obtained a degree in philosophy from the University of Paris and passed the French philosophy teacher qualification examination. In 1945, he co-founded Modern magazine with Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Meg-Ponty, and devoted himself to promoting existentialism. The Second Sex, published in 1949, aroused great repercussions in the ideological circle and became a feminist classic.

Extended information

Sartre's later years: In 1974, Sartre's left eye was actually completely unusable (the right eye was blind in childhood), and high blood pressure forced him to reduce his daily walk to less than half a mile. Due to the loss of writing ability, he said, "I have lost my reason for existence." In his last few months, he showed a rare peace in his life and revised his thoughts.

He surprisingly joined many conservatives in condemning the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan and supporting the United States in boycotting the Moscow Olympic Games. On April 15th, 198, Sartre died in Paris at the age of 74, and tens of thousands of people paid his respects.
