Abstract

It is intended to investigate, in this research stage, to what extent the notions of "consciousness perceptive" and "contact", presented in the Carnets de la drôle de guerre, by Jean-Paul Sartre, collaborate to solve the problem of solipsismo, initially addressed in La transcendance de l'ego. For this, with the help of Sartre's theoretical writings, particularly from the 1930s, along with a bibliography not available in Brazil, we aim to analyze how the attempt to overcome the problem of solipsism is developed in Carnets de la drôle of guerre, since this text is intermediate, it is situated between the advances of perceptual consciousness, outlined in L'imaginaire, and the realization of the writing of L'être et le néant. Thus, through the advances promoted by the notions of "consciousness perceptive" and "contact", in Carnets, we seek to point the way to a renewed approach of the problem of solipsism in sartrian philosophy.
