(21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism, and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.
His work has also influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to influence these disciplines. Sartre has also been noted for his open relationship with the prominent feminist theorist Simone de Beauvoir.
He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature and refused it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution".

There are moments when,
When I know it and
The world revolves around us,
And we’re keeping it,
Keep it all going,
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable all knowing

"There is a good principle which created order, light and man, and an evil principle which created chaos,.
darkness and woman"-Pythagoras .
.
Woman, the other ofman has been historically and socially viewed as the darkness as this quote depicts. The identity of.
female is marked by the absence. The qualities which are attributed on man like virility, intellect, courage etc, female is.
defined by the absence ofthem. It is an originary absence in the sense that the encounter with one's own self is always.
mediated through the dominant-hegemonic social structures. Simone writes in the Second Sex, "Man thinks himself.
without the body ofthe \voman, whereas the woman's body seems devoid ofmeaning without reference to the male...she.
is nothing other than what man decides. She'determines and differentiates herselfin relation to man...She 'is the Other.".
The alterity which is ascribed to female brings about a different conception ofthe self which is not absolute or abstract.
but which is very much embedded in the concrete and subtle social forces. As a feminist, the question before Simone is.
.
the analyses ofthis 'situated self' ofthe female. She analyses it through unfolding the social forces which mark the body.
offemale into the dominant patriarchal social order. She therefore is 'not born but made' as woman. The objectification.
of female through patriarchy converts her into an entity where the meaning and values ofher existence are derived by.
the norms and ideals of patriarchal order. The images of Seeta and savitri and other chaste women in Indian society.
.
which remains encoded in the patriarchal framework and ingrained in the psyche of girls through various institutional.
mediums like family, religion becomes the sort of"Superego" for the females. So female has to assume the role models.
provided by the patriarchal set up otherwise it results in the guilt, a loss ofthe sense ofthe self. Simone points out at this.
predicament when she says, "she discovers and chooses herself in a world where men force her to assume herself as.
.
Other: an attempt is made to freeze her as an object and doom her to immanence, since her transcendence will be forever.
transcended by another essential and sovereign consciousness., .
.
The present talk will discuss the various issues which remains crucial even after her demise..
1-The life as acknowledged by her in autobiography, interviews and letters and the life as lived by her which shehas not acknowledged yet we can delve into it through other sources. .
.
2-The dialectics ofengagement with Jean Paul Sartre, her life partner. Whether she is the thinker who is influencedby Sartre as she herself acknowledged or she is an independent thinker from whom Sartre has taken the manyinsights and later appropriated them? .
3-Feminism as existentialism or otherwise? .
"There was once a man who lost his shadow. l forget what happened to him, but it was dreadful. As for me, I've.

my reading table next to bed. A sort of social commentary, my literature seems to be. This disenfranchised existentialism of Sartre battles the cooly romantic lines of Prevert. Personally, i'm with Prevert.
This summer I sat on the edge of a 50 ft cliff staring into the absurdity before me. My friend’s body burst out of the water and he screamed from the adrenaline. If I stood, I had to jump. I was confronted with the most significant experience of human freedom and responsibility yet in my life. I sensed a very real lack of anything that predetermined if I would jump. Nothing stopped me.
I’ve found similarities in existentialism and in the way I have viewed life in the past few years and even more so after my experience this summer of standing on the edge. I now face the paradox of believing my life is important while thinking general human existence is without purpose. This conflict of ideas has caused feeling of despair, isolation, absurdity, doubt, and longing. This project is about the exploration of these feelings and ideas as I go through my daily life. I am seeking to express how this emotional experience can be shown through physical reality.

In the Malayalam film moonnamathoralvineeth kills a women hitting on her head. Then will he will escape from there in style. He is going running and running. It is raining. Road is blocked. You can see cars stopped there. He will call the persons in cars hitting on the window. One person is sleeping. He will run from there again. At last he will reach the persons house that was killed. There an ambulance is parked. Around that peoples have gathered. Our hero will come running and between the peoples he will look her body. Thenvineeths pale face can be seen. That is the body of non-other than him. Then a question will arise like who is I. Dead person is neither me norwomen. Then a question arises like who is that. Iexist. I exist now also. Then flash back is shown. She is killing vineeth. To whom I will ask whyI’m exists. I’m alone. Everybody is having the problem that they exist. He is Weak. To whom I will ask why i became nonexistent. I’m not seeing any person whom I can ask question. Peoples around seems like acting that they don't know anything. If in film nobody will even sense him. He is ghost isn't it? The whole world seems to be made to cheat myself. Complete loneliness. Do they know anything?Who are these peoples?Self-knowing will be something like this. The only hope is science. Science which maybe expected to be working until death.Science which is working now. But science itself is only a drama. How can i believe in science? Science will happen like any other things might happen. What is the authority in this world? If this world is true any other world can be true. Existentialism keeps oneself in the shadow of fear and doubt, but it will never show oneself what is truth. The question remains that I am. He fears the truth. The fear is that truth may become known. Every body likes to remain on this dream world. He is realizing that all probability exists there now to know the truth.
Existence seems to be the real problem. That can be only known through experience. There is something in it which can’t be expressed in words. There is no exit. There is no other choice. I don’t have the choice to become nonexistent. Freedom is not there is becoming a problem because of that. Unbearablesecond, Problems without any solutions may exist in life itself, but existential problem is only the problem that I exist.There is helplessness,complete helplessness,Loneliness. There is nothing else there. Life is different.
Existentialist must all become mad. Thereis lot of problems in life itself. Along with that there is there is basic problem. Many of them don't marry thinking that the problems which exist is enough.
