Jean- Paul Sartre was born in Paris in 1905. Being the beast he was, Sartre became a professor of Philosophy in 1931 (that's at 26, by the way). Although he primarily studied the philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger, Sartre made his own definition and philosophy for existentialism, one that is based on the freedom that a being is ultimately ruled by. Sartre gained success with his first novel, La Nausée (Nausea), and a collection of stories Le Mur (The Wall and other Stories), both in 1938. These laid out his early existential ideas of alienation and commitment, while utilizing art as a means of salvation. Sartre won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964.
