Abstract

This article will examine the ways in which de-personalization of consciousness constitutes an unavoidable reading clue in order to understand the existential phenomenological conception of human freedom championed by Jean-Paul Sartre. Thus, the study of The Transcendence of the Ego, and of Being and Nothingness, among a few other of Sartre’s writings from the thirties, will allow the reader to discover that the cons­ciousness as an impersonal transcendental field is built as an onto-phenomenological foundation for the full assertion of human freedom. Man is only free, by definition, when he is capable of exiling the ego from consciousness.
