Summary/Abstract: According Sartre, the principal agent of history is the individual, who lives in a proper manner the universal abstract, and for that he is the concrete, singular universal, i.e. a totality lived, which is expresses entirely in its manifestations. Such an individual gives the content of the concept of subjectivity, seen as a relation between subjective and objective, as mediation between two successive objective moments, as internalization of the external and externalization of the interior. In fact, the subject of history is the individual man who, through praxis, which is a work activity, projects himself beyond himself to make history and find himself in it.
