LA PHÉNOMÉNOLOGIE DE L'IMAGE DANS LA PHILOSOPHIE DE SARTRE. UNE LECTURE DU POINT DE VUE DU CONCEPT SARTRIEN DE « CONVERSION »

Abstract

This article addresses Sartre's conception of the image, developed by him from a phenomenological perspective. The author
points out that Sartre rejects the conception of his time about the image as a content of consciousness, placed in it as a material thing in space, and advances the hypothesis of the identity between them. For him, the image is a form of consciousness, an active and creative phenomenon. Sartre's phenomenological approach, carried out within the framework of eidetic psychology and situated on the plane of reflective experience, considered infallible, determines him to establish the features of the image, its main types and to realize their description. These are the express subject of the article. Numerous
other aspects of the image are placed by Sartre in the sphere of experimental psychology, and that's why they are not the subject of this article. At the end of the article the author emphasizes the importance of Sartre's conception of image in substantiating his conception of man and freedom.
