Abstract

ALVES, Pedro M. S.. Subjectividade e intersubjectividade: Sartre perante Hegel e Husserl. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.1, pp. 97-109. ISSN 1809-6867.

In this paper, I examine conflict theory as the fundamental thesis of Sartre’s phenomenological description of interpersonal relationships. I stress Sartre’s debts toward Hegel and Husserl, and I follow his evolution from La transcendance de l’ego till L’être et le néant. I intend to show several problems in Sartre’s conflict thesis. First, there is a problem regarding the way Sartre focuses his descriptions exclusively on the face-to-face relationship. Second, there is another problem regarding Sartre’s attempt to describe the relation to an alter ego as a kind of self-consciousness (consciousness of an alter ego is the same as self-consciousness as a “being-for-other”), instead of a direct intention in the pre-reflexive area. I finish with a negative appraisal of Sartre’s thesis.

Keywords : Sartre; Conflict; Phenomenology; Consciousness.
