Abstract:

Abstract: There are a huge number of different philosophical trends, trends and schools. This paper reveals the history, essence and characterization of the ideas of French existentialism. French existentialism is one of the main trends in Western philosophy. It was born and began to develop actively in the first quarter of the XX century and is associated primarily with such names as Gabriel Marcel, J.-P. Sartre, Albert Camus, etc. Like other types of existentialism, French existentialism is extremely interesting because it tries to solve the problems of the fate of man, the subjection of human life, its principles, the freedom of man and God. All this is happening against the background, as well as after the end of the two largest wars in the history of mankind, and therefore, the question of the value and meaning of human existence and human life was particularly acute.

Keywords: French existentialism, essence and existence, world, Man, freedom, God, A. Camus, J.-P. Sartre.
