Abstract

In our thesis, we will try to show the relationship between phenomenological ontology and freedom in Sartre\'s Being and Nothingness. That will be done by demonstrating that the ambiguity in which the idea of \"phenomenon\" is described is what allows us to correlate the two ontological areas being-In-itself and being-Foritself. Because it is a combined product of the consciousness and the being-Initself, the phenomenon points to a free conception of the world\'s unveiling, since the world is captured by us through our significations, what will have, as a consequence, a essentially practical conception of the being in situation, since to unveil is to act.
