L'altro lato del presente. Storicità e strutture d'avvenire nella filosofia di Jean-Paul Sartre

The other side of the present. Historicity and structures of future in J.-P. Sartre

Since the Thirties of the last century, the French reception of Heidegger’s philosophy is marked by the issue of tempo-rality, in particular by the primacy of the future. This hermeneutical point of view produces peculiar concepts of histo-ricity and history. Sartre’s reflection on history is deeply influenced by this milieu. Nevertheless, the article shows the progressive detachment of his philosophy from the Heideggerian roots, proposing that Sartre’s philosophical-critical foundation of historical knowledge is a way to rescue history and politics from the logic of future perfect. For this pur-pose, the paper analyses two Sartre’s theoretical paths: the critic of the Heideggerian category of Geschichtlichkeit; the inspired by Marx materialistic analysis of the «structures of the future» in a defined society.
