Sartre wrote philosophy in literary, novelistic form centered on human freedom

Evidence

Where philosophers before him had written in careful propositions and arguments, Sartre wrote like a novelist — not surprisingly, since he was one. In his novels, short stories and plays as well as in his philosophical treatises, he wrote about the physical sensations of the world and the structures and moods of human life. Above all, he wrote about one big subject: what it meant to be free. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 25
