THE CONTEMPORARY RECEPTION OF SARTRE’S WORK

Summary/Abstract: The reception and reflection of Jean-Paul Sartre for more than half a century since his death proves that he was an important personality of his era and a figure that remains actual even today. It was excessively difficult to be simultaneously a philosopher, professor, journalist, novelist, literary and art critic, dramatist and a biographer, in the period between the two world wars; and in that scheme, to also be a man of politics, considered as a „total intellectual“ by his contemporaries. His name, at times, becomes synonymous with a specific era. Sartre was a tireless human being, always in a mental and physical movement or ,,homme en marche", as he was described by Simone de Beauvoir
