Filosofia, politica, letteratura. Jean-Paul Sartre, 1938-1946

In the youthful phases of his thought, Sartre’s discovery is Husserl’s phenomenology, the idea of “cogito cogitatum”, and Heidegger’s notion of the existence like being-in-the world. Even though he starts from the world’s primacy on the man, afterwards Sartre declares the absolute freedom of the man “en-situation”. In the postwar period he analyses the Jewish’s issue and explains that his existentialism isn’t a contemplative philosophy: he pass from the discovery of the existence’s contingency to the concept of the “engagement” like the writer’s necessity. Convinced that chaque homme est politique , he thinks about the intellectual work and suggests an order’s swing.
