ABSTRACT

Existentialism was formally formed in Germany in the 1920s, is one of the main schools of Western philosophy in the twentieth century, and still occupies a pivotal position in the Western capitalist ideological world, and Sartre is a rather notable presence in the history of existentialist philosophy. Sartre's existentialist philosophy is a theory that explores the human will and takes human freedom as its core, believes that human existence precedes essence, and emphasises that existentialism is a kind of humanitarianism, which is still of great practical significance today.
