Abstract

The article offers a look at the early years of French existentialist philosopher and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre. He was born in Paris, France on June 21, 1905. His being a Protestant is cited as the reason for his sense of being an outsider in a largely Catholic France. It is noted that his maternal grandfather Charles Schweitzer was uncle to the famous scholar and musician Johann Sebastian Bach.
