Abstract


The intention of this study is to demonstrate how Sartre formulates and solves the question of dualism in the work Being and Nothingness (1943)1. This question arose mainly from the criticisms of Alphonse de Waelhens and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. These criticisms were summarized in the preface to Merleau-Ponty’s work entitled La Structure du Comportement. This discussion became very important because it was a kind of categorization of sartrian existentialism, a mistake that was persistently considered to be the truth about Sartre’s thought. To correct this mistake and regain the real face of sartrian philosophy, it is important to hear Sartre’s voice. It is indispensable to return to the Conclusion of Being and Nothingness to relearn the basis of sartrian ontology which will provide the opportunity to restore the true face of Sarte, based on the facts.
