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.
