Gratuitness of Being in J. P. Sartre

Summary/Abstract: Treating facticity (facticité) in itself (pour-soi), Sartre sinthetically and logically examines the problem of gratuitness. This article tries to describe Sartre’s claim that human being can not be founded neither by him/herself nor by any other being. He, therefore, says that God has to be contingent. Recognizing the human’s wish to be God, however, Sartre did not recognize that Christian God – the god of Holy Scripures is on a different level from human reality.
