"Engagez-vous, rengagez-vous…". Lignée et tradition cartésiennes dans L’être et le néant
Get PDF"Join up, they said! It’s a man’s life, they said!"Cartesian Lineage and Tradition in Being and Nothingness While Descartes is literally present in 27 of 722 pages that Being and Nothingness counts, Hegel appears in 43, Husserl in 46 and Heidegger in 47 of them. Without asserting, and thus without infirming the obvious influence of these three German thinkers on it, one year after his essay of phenomenological ontology, it is nevertheless the filiation and the manner of only the French philosopher that Sartre claims in front of Pierre Lorquet. So, which relative and which model is Descartes for him? And what relationship does Sartre exactly maintain with him? Following the track of the latter in the 1943 treatise, I want to ensure that “the individual of existentialism is Descartes’s true heir”."Join up, they said!

The Actuality of Sartre\u27s Free Will Conception
No full textThe main Sartrean concepts and theses of freedom of will and unlimited responsibility, which seemed for many already outdated, are gaining actually interest in respect to the recent results in brain research. The main objective of the paper is to reevaluate Sartre\u27s free will conception trying to answer the question: How would Sartre who, in the time of his existentialist phase during which his radical theory of freedom received its most pointed articulation, was familiar with psychological theories of determinism, have responded to statements of actually leading brain researchers such as "we are determined," "brain research liberates from illusions" or "I am my brain"
La critique sartrienne de l\u27universel abstrait : éléments pour une pensée du multiculturel
Get PDFSartre\u27s Critique of the Abstract Universal: Elements for a Multicultural Thinking The question of cultural justice, which refers in different contexts to the exigency of universality, constitutes a central aspect of Sartre\u27s writings after World War II as f. ex. Réflexions sur la question juive (1946), Orphée noir (1948), Cahiers pour une morale (1947-1948), the famous Preface to Les damnés de la terre of Franz Fanon (1961), and his article on the "question basque" (1971). In this texts Sartre poses some questions, which are crucial for the contemporary multiculturalism debates, specially the questions of cultural justice, of the concepts of universality and the practical subject, of the articulation between cultural justice and distributive justice, as well as of the relation between person, economics and culture. The aims of this article is to discuss the main points of Sartre\u27s critique of the abstract universality on the basis of his Réflexions sur la question juive, and to articulate the fields where Sartre\u27s thought offers the theoretical resources for a contemporary debate on cultural justice.Sartre\u27s Critique of the Abstract Universal: Sartre\u27s Critique of the Abstract Universal: Elements for a Multicultural Thinking Abstract The question of cultural justice, which refers in different contexts to the exigency of universality, constitutes a central aspect of Sartre\u27s writings after World War II as f. ex.

Some Notes (with Badiou and Žižek) on Event/Truth/Subject/Militant Community in Jean-Paul Sartre\u27s Political Thought
Get PDFThe main object of this paper is to examine the new philosophical frame proposed by Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek and to show that it implies some traces of Sartre\u27s philosophical and political heritage. According the project of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek one should no longer accept today\u27s constellation of freedom, particularistic truth and democracy, but to (re)inscribe the issues of freedom and universal truth into a political project that attempts to re-activate a thinking of revolution. Their thinking consists in the wager that it is still possible to provide a philosophical frame for this leftist emancipatory position that claims the dimension of the universal against the vicious circle of capitalist globalization-cum-particularization and, by following Marx\u27s claim that there are formal affinities between the ambitions of emancipatory politics and the working mode of capitalism, takes up the struggle of universalism against globalization (capital). It is only through this struggle for the universal that the intertwined processes of a constant expansion of the automatism of capital and "a process of fragmentation into closed identities," accompanied by "the culturalist and relativist ideology" (Badiou) can be suspended. It is precisely this constellation of revolutionary act, universal truth, subject, and militant community, that reveal some similarities with Sartre\u27s concepts of the subject, the revolutionary action, the militant community a.o
Die Kritik am transzendentalen Ich: Zu Sartres und Ricœurs Heidegger-Lektüren
Get PDFThe Critique of the Transcendental Ego: On Sartre\u27s and Ricoeur\u27s Heidegger InterpretationsAccording Otto Pöggeler Heidegger\u27s main brake with Husserl consists in his rejection of the tran-scendental constitution conceived as the life of an "absolute Cogito," replaced by Heidegger by the "factual life" from which phenomenology should always begin. The author of this paper argues that the problem about the starting point of phenomenology also appears later in the debates between Heidegger and Sartre, as well as in Ricoeur\u27s Heidegger interpretation. Thus, the aim of the article is to analyze to what extent the positions of Heidegger, Sartre, and Ricoeur contradicts or even exclude each other, and to what extent they cross or eventually complement each other. The inquiry shows that Heidegger\u27s accusation of Sartre\u27s forgetting of the question about the sense of being of Dasein is unjustified. Equally untenable is Sartre\u27s critique of Heidegger, that he had bypassed the Cogito as a starting point of the existential analysis, because Sartre\u27s transcendence of the Cogito, which pretends to involve the transphenomenal Being, cannot be derived from it and risks to fall again in the trap of "phenomenalism," which Sartre reproached to Husserl. Ricoeur\u27s Heidegger interpretation brings clarity to this discussion by pulling together the decentration of the subject and the limits of apodicticity of the Cogito. But his elaboration of the hermeneutics of the Self contains the risk of a hyperbolization of the role of language

Crossroads of Literature: Sartre versus the New Novelists
Get PDFThe following article aims to present the debate around the question "Que peut la littérature?" between the partisans of commited litterature like Sartre, on the one side, and some defenders of Nouevau Roman like Ricardou, on the other. Some of the major arguments of the debate will be outlined in order to show that it essentially ends up being a conversation between Ricardou and Sartre, with the intent to sort out what issues are really at stake. Also the question will be elucaded why Sartre felt the need to return to some of his earliest arguments when he had evolved on so many points
