- Sartre was alien to the possibility that existentialism might thrive if it would just assume that indeed we do have a God who, no matter His or Her cosmic dimensions, (whether larger or smaller than we assume), embodies nonetheless some of our faults, our ambitions, our talents and our gloom.

Aug 7, 2017 · For the early Sartre—the Sartre of the phenomenological period and Being and Nothingness —atheism was not a humanism. But neither was it the atheism of twentieth-century Anglophone philosophy of religion. Sartre’s objection to God was not Bertrand Russell’s: ‘Not enough evidence!’. So what was it?

Mar 26, 2022 · Jean-Paul Sartre. First published Sat Mar 26, 2022. Few philosophers have been as famous in their own life-time as Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–80). Many thousands of Parisians packed into his public lecture, Existentialism is a Humanism , towards the end of 1945 and the culmination of World War 2.
The main consequence of abandonment is, as we have seen, the absence of any objective source of moral law: Sartre objected to the approach of some atheistic moralists who, recognising that God didn’t exist, simply clung to a secular version of Christian morality without its Guarantor.
In short, the purpose of this thesis is to show that it is entirely possible that man is the one who has abandoned God and not vice versa. The debate of whether God exists or not is still unsettled despite what philosophers may have concluded.

Sartre had an early mystical atheistic intuition that later developed into atheistic mystical experience. Sartre experienced the non-existence of God. Jean Paul Sartre called himself a “material” atheist, one who not only believes that God does not exist but is profoundly aware of God’s absence.
The philosophical career of Jean Paul Sartre (1905-1980) focuses, in its first phase, upon the construction of a philosophy of existence known as existentialism. Sartre’s early works are characterized by a development of classic phenomenology, but his reflection diverges from Husserl’ s on methodology, the conception of the self, and an ...
Sartre's early atheism, but note the pervasive nature of secularised Christian metaphors and concepts in his religion of letters and the centrality of man's desire to be God in Being and Nothingness. His theoretical writings seek to refute the idea of God, but in doing so God is paradoxically both absent and present.
