LE VECU CHEZ SARTRE
THE LIVED IN SARTRE

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the Sartrean concept of ‘lived experience’ which constitutes a bridge between phenomenology and Marxism, psychology and ontology, individual and society, as well as between philosophy and literary criticism. The notion of lived experience is rooted in psychology, at the same time being embedded in literary criticism and phenomenology. Sartre had been deeply concerned about the basic structure of subjectivity from the beginning (see the nonegological notion of the non-reflective consciousness in The Transcendence of the Ego) and it had remained absolutely crucial for him. It is interlinked with the notions of facticity, contingency, singularity, intersubjectivity, and body in the Being and Nothingness, and became the theoretical base of his Marxism (sketched out in his Question of Method) and existential psychoanalysis applied in his essays on Baudelaire, Genet, and especially in that one written on Flaubert (The Family Idiot).
