This paper aims at delving further into the notions of Sartre´s ontological phenomenology by means of hermeneutic analysis provided by Dominick LaCapra’s intellectual history. LaCapra’s ideas stand out for its potentiality when it comes to address how some intellectuals from the 20th have dealt with the experience of violence and uncertainty stemming from their historical context. With a view to taking forward this hermeneutic background, this paper explores Sartre’s ideas on the being of consciousness, intersubjectivity and the existential project by endorsing the lens provided by LaCapra’s works.
