• Abstract:

  This research aims to investigate a possible conception of a subjectivized education, which aims to respect the individuality of the being, with a theoretical basis in the existentialism of the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, specifically in his consecrated ontological work ``O ser e o nada``. Following primordial concepts such as consciousness, being-in-itself and being-for-itself, freedom and the Other, the proposal is the possibility of education being the foundation of the subjectivity of being, contrary to the fact that it is only a subjectivity which is mortalized by the gaze of the Other. Based on the analysis of these concepts and interpreting Sartre's phenomenology, although consciousness is interpreted as nothingness, since it is For-itself and sustains only the ontological existence of being, the project-of-being is constituted independently, in the world, where objectivity takes place. The I present in the project-of-being emerges independently of the Other, even though, for Sartre, the Other “steals” consciousness, the I is, first of all, In-itself.
