Errr... Not all of these are public domain.
It is reasonable to expect to find works by Baudelaire, Bentham, Euclid, Galileo, Hegel, Hippocrates, Juvenal, Kepler, Kierkegaard, and Laclos in some online archive such as Project Gutenberg. Note that although the original works may be out of copyright, English translations might still be copyrighted, though.
As for the others:
- Sartre died in 1980. Being & Nothingness was published in 1943; Nausea in 1938; and No Exit in 1944.
- Jacques Maritain died in 1973. Art & Scholasticism was published in 1947; The Degrees of Knowledge in 1959; The Rights of Man & Natural Law in 1943; and True Humanism in 1941. I did find a copy of Art & Scholasticism at http://www2.nd.edu/Departments/Maritain/etext/art.htm
- Heisenberg died in 1976. Physics and Philosophy was published in 1958.
- And, I believe that Solzhenitsyn is still living.
