Being and Nothingness is extraordinarily rich and highly original. At its core, I argue, lies an insight into the aporetic character of intersubjectivity-«the scandal of the plurality of consciousnesses», as Sartre puts it-which emerges most clearly in his critique of Hegel's theory of intersubjectivity. My aim in this paper is to isolate this thesis of Sartre's and spell out his grounds for it. I argue furthermore that Hegel's conception of intersubjectivity corresponds to that of natural consciousness, such that, in rejecting Hegel, Sartre is also impugning the reality of a conception integral to ordinary thought. I suggest that Sartre's insight also holds the key to his distinctive approach to social and political theory in the Critique of Dialectical Reason.

This article presents a critical Lacanian reading of Sartre's work. This reading takes its bearings from Sartre's autobiography, Les Mots, where Sartre's later, more qualified bearing towards psychoanalysis is evident. The article is constructed around an analysis of the letters of Sartre's chapter on "Bad Faith" in Being and Nothingness, and a series of symptomatic slips around the (im)possibility of 'good faith'. The author argues that Sartre's earlier dismissal of the unconscious is itself symptomatic of a foreclosure of the symbolic order (the order exactly of 'les mots'), conceived in Lacanian terms as the order of the social pact, founded upon inter-subjective relations 'in good faith'. What is foreclosed from the terms of Sartre's existential analyses then returns in the 'metaphysical' or 'theological' terms in which Being and Nothingness is framed, despite itself, and the bleak appreciation of inter-subjectivity at the heart of the work.
