Biography is my liberation… Jean-Paul Sartre’s therapeutic project
Abstract
Sartre’s work, that can be placed between literature and philosophy,
is an attempt to capture the human existence – both in its
individual and general dimension (the latter is the human condition).
As presented in Being and Nothingness, the purpose of this
idea is to understand the fundamental project of human being and
at the same time – in the form of existential psychoanalysis developed
by Sartre – to uncover one’s original choice. Biographies are
the exemplary realisation of this philosophical and literary therapy.
As the author of Baudelaire, Saint Genet, The Family Idiot,
Mallarmé and autobiographical Words Sartre claimed that writing
the account of one’s life may be regarded as a method to gain
immortality, self-knowledge and liberation, an attempt to escape
bad faith and spirit of seriousness and a way of living authentically.
Sartre’s psychoanalysis can be treated as his own therapeutic
project also. Sartrean ‘purifying therapy’ can be used in counselling
and psychotherapy practice as well as an autobiographical
self-treatment.
