SARTRE ET LA QUESTION DU DROIT
SARTRE AND THE QUESTION OF LAW

Summary/Abstract: Jean-Paul Sartre deals with the problems of law and justice the first time in 1927 responding to two different positions on the individual "natural rights" and the "state sovereignty". Later on, in the Cahiers pour une morale (1947) he criticized the law-formalism. So, the law and jurisdiction are instruments for power to support the social division and inequality. Sartre returns to the questions of law and rights in four concrete situations when the French philosopher was member of Tribulan Russell. For Sartre, it exist only one justice, the justice of people.
