ACAECIMIENTO ABSOLUTO Y SIGNIFICACIONES OBJETIVAS EN LA PRIMERA FILOSOFÍA DE SARTRE

The confrontation between Sartre and Freud occurs mainly on the problem of the origin of significations. According to Freud, the libido determines their sexual character whereas for Sartre, the absolute event, that is, the upsurge of the for-itself from the negation of the in-itself, provides the subject with objective symbolizations of being accessible through the qualities. Therefore, through an analysis of the absolute event, the author argues that even though Sartre’s phenomenology is with no doubt a philosophy of consciousness and freedom, subject’s attitudes and significations are to be interpreted and explained from this ontological event.
