Abstract


The text focuses on offering an analysis of the Sartrean interpretation of the French Revolution which is contained in the Critique of Dialectical Reason. Because of that notions as oath, group in fusion, sovereign nation, freedom-terror or nihilation, that are all basic in the reading that the author of Being and Nothingness makes of this historical fact, become prominent in this essay and appear in it in a recurrent manner. Lévi-Strauss’ criticism at Sartre’s hermeneutical proposal on the Revolution is mentioned as well and this interpretation is finally compared with the one that Hegel puts forward in the Fenomenology of the Spirit.
