Abstract

Our project aims fundamentally to understand and reflect on the articulations of the themes of the Circuit of Ipseity with Existential Psychoanalysis within the work of Jean-Paul Sartre. Thus, we investigate and comprehend in depth how the personal and individual self of the concrete subject is constituted. To this end, our investigation is organized into two phases: the research on Ipseity in its fundamental context, namely, the constitution of the Being-for-itself, which corresponds to the theoretical level of the constitution of the self. Subsequently, the research on Existential Psychoanalysis in conjunction with Sartrean works referred to as "Existential Biographies," which corresponds to the methodological-practical level of the investigation concerning the self.
