I wonder if anyone could help me. I remember hearing some years ago, that the French existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre had become a Catholic some months before he died. However, I cannot find a word about this on the Internet - perhaps this is one event which the atheist powers want to cover up. If anyone has information about this I'd be glad to hear from you.Tuesday, 21 April 2009

I have received some feedback to this post and, it seems that, although Sartre was indeed baptsied a Catholic through the influence of his maternal grandmother, he did not undergo a 'death-bed' conversion, but that in his last years he did become more open to God. Of course, the really important question is - was God ultimately open to him!
