REFLEXIONS CRITIQUES SUR QU’EST-CE QUE LA SUBJECTIVITE ? DE SARTRE
CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON SARTRE’S WHAT IS SUBJECTIVITY?

Summary/Abstract: The recent edition of a debate between Jean-Paul Sartre and some important Italian philosophers in 1961 in the Gramsci’s Institute of Rome has a great importance because the main topic of this meeting: the role of subjectivity in Philosophy. In the long introductory speech Sartre point out his critics on George Lukács’s pan objectivism totally different of his own dialectical conception on subjectivity explained in his Critique de la raison dialectique. During the discussion, Cesare Luporini and other Italian Marxist thinkers have emphasized the link between subjectivity and objectivity saying and stating the priority of the reality on subjectivity. By Sartre’s opinion, it is impossible to separate subjectivity and objectivity. Even in the arts - his example is now Stendhal – the personality of the author is inseparable of his character, Madame Bovary. Unfortunately, this edition of 2013 is incomplete and contains many omissions of different interventions during the interesting debate.
