 United Press International: Thinking about life: Jean-Paul Sartre
Sartre's tremendous appetite for abstraction and his suspicion of the life of feeling is particularly evident in his uncompromising, absolutist approach to the cardinal existentialist virtues of authenticity and freedom.
This is not to suggest that Sartre believed that God exists.
The thought that man's "fundamental project" is to be his own foundation -- that is, to be God -- stands at the center of Sartre's philosophy.

 Jean-Paul Sartre Biography
Sartre's worldwide fame was based substantially on his existentialism, but it would be a mistake to consider him significant only for a philosophy that represented his thinking at a relatively early stage of his career.
Sartre wanted to explore chiefly the particular circumstances and the dialectical relationships that made Flaubert into a bourgeois who hated the bourgeoisie, a passive man incapable of pursuing an ordinary career, and, generally, a misfit and a neurotic, as well as a great writer.
Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the major intellectual figures of the twentieth century, doubtless the greatest of his immediate generation in France.

Born in 1905 Jean-Paul Sartre came to be probably the most famous and influential twentieth century French philosopher.
Although many nineteenth century philosophers developed the concepts of existentialism, it was the French writer Jean Paul Sartre who popularized it.

 Jean-Paul Sartre: Biography and Much More From Answers.com
Sartre, Jean-Paul (zhäN-pôl sär'trə), 1905–80, French philosopher, playwright, and novelist.
The first book in the trilogy, L'age de raison (The Age of Reason) (1945), could easily be said to be the Sartre work with the broadest appeal.
Some say this was the only public debate Sartre ever lost, but it remains still to this day a both disputed and controversial event still discussed within some philosophical circles of France.

 Madness and Civilization : A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason (Vintage)
In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.
This book is one of the most important philosophy texts of the 20th century, if for no other reason than as an eye-opener.
While this book does not explicitly call for such action it is clearly in that vein.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Age of Reason: a Novel
I read a series of interviews with Sartre at one point, after all of his major books were a ways behind him, and he himself did not seem to consider the Roads to Freedom trilogy of particular significance or importance.
The Age of Reason does drag somewhat, since it's a good 300 pages long, but it's worth reading, since some of the parts in this book are very well-written and keeps you in suspense throughout the length of the book.
Sartre does not come to any conclusion in this book (of course, its the first in the trilogy), yet does not leave the reader unsatisfied(you know what I mean).

He is describes by Sartre as the archangel of hate, and Marcelle also nicknames him Archangel.
When we first meet him in the novel, he is trying to make himself kill his cats because, he reasons, “When a man hasn’t the courage to kill himself wholesale, he must do so retail” (115).
Finally, the very title of the piece – The Age of Reason – begs tp be evaluated.

 LRB Perry Anderson : The Age of EJH
Before reaching the valid biographical reasons for his own decision, he sets out, as if it were a necessary preliminary to justify himself, to disparage those who made the opposite choice.
Its qualities are such, in fact, that it is almost impossible to read without being drawn back to his work as a historian, so many insights does it offer, casually or deliberately, about what he has achieved as a whole.
In all, in the genre for which it seems so well designed, the craft of the historian has yielded perhaps only two classics - Gibbon's graceful mirror at the end of the 18th century, and Henry Adams's eerie Wunderkammer at the beginning of the 20th.

 Amazon.com: Books: Nausea (New Directions Paperbook)
It is true that there is a curious and unsettling divorce of the human mind from the material reality it inhabits, but I hardly think it follows from this that life is wholly in vain or 'nauseating'.
i'd start with "the age of reason" the first book in his "roads to freedom" trilogy.
I'm puzzled that some call this book 'visionary', when in fact the truth is that it's the opposite of visionary or imaginative, that is, deliberately impoverished and bleak.

 Keynsham Online : Shop : Books : Iron in the Soul (Penguin Modern Classics)
This book must be read in conjunction with the other two parts of the trilogy, "The Age of Reason" and "The Reprieve".
This final part of the "Roads to Freedom" trilogy was actually the first Sartre book I read, but despite this I was soon captivated by characters like Mathieu, Boris, Lola and Ivich and the writing which allows the reader to merge with the characters in a way that seems unique to Sartre's writing.
This book is highly enjoyable and Sartre, the perfectionist that he is, presents his philosophy through his characters with an artistic technique that is unsurpassable.

The Age of Reason is a rare classic and one of the greatest works in literature.
This is a great book to start exploring the works of Jean-Paul Sartre; it has more of a story to tell than "Nausea", it is not as much as an essay as "Being and Nothingness".
The character of Ivich in the novel is the kind of woman who Sartre was always intrigued and fascinated by.

 Jean Paul Sartre
Existentialist philosopher, playwright, and critic Jean-Paul Sartre is considered one of the most important French writers of the century.
Though he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964, he refused this and other accolades in protest of bourgeois capitalist society.
Some of Sartre's best-known works include the play No Exit (1944), and the novels Nausea (1938) and The Age of Reason (1945).

 Books The observations of Jean-Paul Sartre
He poured himself out for us because he needed us to ground his life in authenticity, and in turning the bright beam of his intelligence upon his own solitary life, he lights up the disavowed secrets of our own.
Sartre's genius was the reverse: a protean talent for inclusion, for making the whole range of his experience the material for sustained reflection.
These notebooks, written expressly for posthumous publication, reflect Sartre's intense awareness that the coming of the war required a moment of truth, a summing up of his passage from youth to maturity.

But what had restrained him each time on the brink of such a violent break, was that he had no 'reasons' for acting thus.
He ought to have taken his decision at twenty-five … but at that age one doesn't decide with proper motivation.
And during all that time, gently, stealthily, the years had come, they had grasped him from behind: thirty-four of them.

 The Monkey's Typewriter: The Age of Sartre
This is partly because the novel, unfolding in that claustrophobic timeframe, imparts a sense of febrile urgency to events, as if every decision made at every moment represents a judgement on character.
His reputation has taken a bit of a battering since his death in 1980--his wilful blindness* to the atrocities perpetrated by Stalin is perhaps the biggest black mark against him.
*Unfortunately, Sartre's blindness was a literal fact for the last seven years of his life.

Like Socrates, they search for answers through discussion, or by responding to the arguments of others, or through careful personal contemplation.
It could be argued that some New Age philosophies, such as the "Celestine Prophecy", inadvertently educate people about human psychology and power relationships through the use of spiritual metaphor.
Philosophers often frame their questions as problems or puzzles, in order to give clear examples of their doubts about a subject they find interesting, wonderful or confusing.

Sartre, who had taught himself to read, was kept at home by his grandfather, Charles Schweitzer, until the age of ten.
Sartre was born in Paris and was raised in the house of his maternal grandparents following the death of his father, who died shortly after Sartre's birth.
Sartre's grandfather had, by far, the greatest influence both on Sartre's early upbringing and on his subsequent career.
