Jean-Paul Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French existentialist philosopher and writer. Although he was a leading figure in 20th century French philosophy, he was not universally liked, Guy Debord for example had little patience with Sartre and other intellectuals who according to him adopted anti-establishment poses while enjoying the perks of fame. His most famous line is "Hell is other people." Although never married, he was romantically linked to Simone de Beauvoir for most of his life.

Sartre contributed many other strands of existential exploration, particularly in terms of emotions, imagination, and the person's insertion into a social and political world. He became the father of existentialism, which was a philosophical trend with a limited life span. The philosophy of existence on the contrary is carried by a wide-ranging literature, which includes many other authors than the ones mentioned above. There is much to be learned from existential authors such as Karl Jaspers (1951, 1963), Paul Tillich, Martin Buber, and Hans-Georg Gadamer within the Germanic tradition and Albert Camus, Gabriel Marcel, Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas within the French tradition (see for instance Spiegelberg, 1972, Kearney, 1986 or van Deurzen-Smith, 1997). Few psychotherapists are aware of this literature, or interested in making use of it. Psychotherapy has traditionally grown within a medical rather than a philosophical milieu and is only just beginning to discover the possibility of a radical philosophical approach.
