SCHNEIDER, Daniela Ribeiro et al. "Project of Being" as an Epistemological Foundation for Public Health Practices. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.spe, pp. 1-13. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v21iesp1.e9442.

The concept of project of being is central to the work of Jean-Paul Sartre and an essential aspect of existentialist psychology. Sartre takes this theme from phenomenology, which addresses the project's issue as a relevant dimension of the subject's temporality, in the dynamics that involve the future. The existentialist approaches this notion with different names throughout his works: foundational project, original project, and project of being. These terms are synonymous and used in different parts of their theoretical elaboration to elucidate aspects that are more relevant for each context. In this theoretic essay, developed through a narrative review of the literature, based on the works of Sartre himself or the philosopher's scholars and commentators, the term "project of being" will be used, given that the challenge of the existentialist clinical method consists, precisely, in the unveiling of the subject's being, understood as being-in-the-world. The objective is to develop an understanding of this concept in its instrumental applicability in the health field. Therefore, the relationship of this concept with the principles of collective health is developed - such as the issue of integrality, territoriality, health promotion, prevention, and psychosocial care - and their contributions to the intelligibility of phenomena, particularly suffering psychic and psychopathologies. It argued that some existentialist concepts could serve as an epistemic foundation for the proposal of an expanded clinic, constituting a theoretical and methodological contribution to the area.
