Abstract

The aim of this article is to understand what an emotional conduct is for Jean-Paul Sartre, based on the Sketch for a Theory of Emotions. Therefore, it will be necessary to describe the differences between the pragmatic and magical ways of being-in-the-world, since that emotion is constituted as a belief in the magical aspect. This notion of belief, insofar as it is located in the body, requires, in turn, a discussion about the role of the body and its relationship with consciousness. We will see that, although with oscillations and without developing it, Sartre opens the perspective of thinking about the consciousness-body relationship as a synthetic totality, which will remain fundamental in his philosophy.
