Abstract
This essay addresses the role of consciousness
in L’être et le néant, the magnum opus of
Sartrean
philosophy.
It
analyses
the
implications of consciousness on time and its
inalienable occur in human existence’s
happening; the unavoidable contact with the
other and the others as surrounding beings in
the World; language’s effect as origin and
culmen of knowledge; and the correspondent
situation for every human being, that is to say,
the finitude, freedom’s impossibility and
ineffectiveness of a total encounter with
himself.
