Consciousness, Freedom, For-itself, TruthAbstract
This article will talk about the concept of truth in the thought of Jean-Paul Sartre. To this end, the concepts of intentional consciousness, freedom and for-itself will be essential for the foundation and argumentation that will help to explain the concept of truth. Now, Sartre understood freedom as being the very manifestation of intentional consciousness, that is, a projecting out of yourself. Based on Edmund Husserl’s concept of intentional consciousness, the existentialist philosopher says that it would only be from this consciousness that the human being would place himself as a project of being in the world, that is, as a being for-itself that tirelessly seeks its foundation. In order to make an excerpt of Sartre’s thought, the works that were written between 1937 and 1948 will be used, above all. In this way, this article will attempt to reconstruct the concept of truth from the horizon of freedom.
