In this course, we will read and discuss J.-P. Sartre early works. The course will pursue three main goals: i. The main goal of the course is to master basic concepts, methods and argumentative strategies that Sartre’s early philosophical approach is relying upon (especially its emphasis on ontology, phenomenological description and concretely existing individual). We will argue that at the heart of Sartre’s approach lies an attempt to demonstrate that freedom is an unavoidable condition of human existence, which is indispensable for our attempts to make sense of ourselves. ii. Based on this, we will investigate some of the most important topics for Sartre philosophy such as body, bad faith, psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity and others. We will also touch upon such topics as sociology and political philosophy, which partly go beyond Sartre’s early project but which nonetheless incorporate his early emphasis on freedom. iii. We will also investigate the academic and cultural background of Sartre’s phenomenology. In particular, we will discuss his criticisms of Husserl and Heidegger and his relation to Merleau-Ponty.
