Paragraph:
Sartre was a Professor of Philosophy, independent writer, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, literary critic, and playwright. He believed that literature was committed; artistic creation is a moral activity. His central philosophical work, L'Etre et le néant (Being and Nothingness), was a massive structuralization of his concept of being. His popular essay L'Existentialisme est un humanisme (Existentialism is a Humanism), can be seen in the series of novels, Les Chemins de la Liberté (The Roads to Freedom). He was known as the best playwright of his time.
