Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to juxtapose the philosophy of Sartre as well as other French atheist ex-istentialists of the twentieth century, especially that of Beauvoir, and the postmodern one. We aim atdemonstrating the relevance of the existentialist paradigm in the contemporary philosophico-literarypanorama. By exploring the paths proposed by postmodern philosophers, including Nik Farell Fox orMarkus Gabriel, we will examine the extent to which an approach constituted by the juxtaposition oftwo methodologies: the existentialist and the poststructuralist one, allows to explore the issues raisedin postmodern literary fiction, particularly the novel.
