About the author
Jean-Paul Sartre
1,098 books13k followersJean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism (and phenomenology). His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."
Sartre held an open relationship with prominent feminist and fellow existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. Together, Sartre and de Beauvoir challenged the cultural and social assumptions and expectations of their upbringings, which they considered bourgeois, in both lifestyles and thought. The conflict between oppressive, spiritually destructive conformity (mauvaise foi, literally, 'bad faith') and an "authentic" way of "being" became the dominant theme of Sartre's early work, a theme embodied in his principal philosophical work Being and Nothingness (L'Être et le Néant, 1943). Sartre's introduction to his philosophy is his work Existentialism Is a Humanism (L'existentialisme est un humanisme, 1946), originally presented as a lecture.

Not my favorite dramas of Satre but still gold!

Da hat das rote Pferd sich einfach umgekehrt
Und hat mit seinem Schwanz die Fliege abgewehrt
Die Fliege war nicht dumm, sie machte summ, summ, summ
Und flog mit viel Gebrumm ums rote Pferd herum
Da war sie wieder da und machte viel tara
Obwohl sie doch nur eine kleine Fliege war
Sie sagte: "Bitte sehr, ich find das gar nicht fair"
Wenn du nicht aufhörst hol ich meine Freunde her
Und hat mit seinem Schwanz die Fliege abgewehrt

Und flog mit viel Gebrumm ums rote Pferd herum

Obwohl sie doch nur eine kleine Fliege war

Wenn du nicht aufhörst hol ich meine Freunde her
