Freedom and conscience in Sartre's metaphysical novel

13 páginas.[ES] J.-P. Sartre define la literatura como el compromiso de una voluntad resuelta. En su caso se trata de un doble compromiso: político y metafísico. El resultado va a ser una novela metafísica que responde a principios existencialistas y fenomenológicos. El tiempo, el cuerpo, el sujeto, su libertad y su conciencia se sitúan para escenificar el arrojamiento del hombre en el mundo a través de la conciencia del lector. En cuanto al compromiso, éste debe ser entendido dentro del principio al que Sartre, acostumbrado a pensar contra sí mismo, intentó guardar mayor fidelidad, a saber, la libertad.[EN] J.-P. Sartre defines literature as the commitment of a determined will. In his own case this commitment is double: political and metaphysical. The result will be a metaphysical novel that corresponds to existencialist and phenomenologic principles. Time, body, subject and freedom are put “into situation” in order to stage men’s “throwness into the world” through the readers consciousness. As far as commitement is concerned, it should be understood as part of the principle to which Sartre, a man who was used to think against himself, hold the utmost loyalty, namely, freedom.Peer reviewe
