Abstract

The present essay takes into consideration the group of questions found at the end of Being and Nothingness (1943) by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. At the center of these questions we find liberty as a value. The development of these questions, Sartre points out, should be done in the field of ethics and would be further analyzed in an upcoming book, published posthumously under the title of: Cahiers pour une morale (Notebooks for an Ethics, 1983). Within its pages we find the unnecessary existence of morality as a central problem together with the concept of the “spirit of seriousness”, relatively untouched in Being and Nothingness. The following essay subjects to rigorous scrutiny the phenomena of objective subjectivity, and the loss of liberty, which are derived from the “spirit of seriousness” remitted to objects.
