Raţiuni existențialiste ale literaturii: Jean-Paul Sartre
Existentialist Reasons of Literature: Jean-Paul Sartre

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I present some of Jean-Paul Sartre’s observations regarding the liberating role of literature both from individual existential discomfort and from a socio-political point of view. According to the French philosopher, the main reason for writing literature is to convey an urgent, imperative message that all people need. Sartre wrote primarily for the enjoyment of all readers (regardless of political choice) to savor his memorable words and formulas, even when they are reserved about the content, and this profound choice aims at the freedom of the creator as well as that of the receiver.
