SUMMARY:

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that there is in Jean-Paul Sartre's thought its own conception of political action. The elaboration of his phenomenological ontology essay led the existentialist philosopher to conclude that the human being is condemned to be free, insofar as freedom derives from the nadifying function of consciousness, which is movement and indeterminacy. Without any substance, consciousness only exists in a related way, it is always consciousness of something, and therefore freedom, for Sartre, is unequivocally situated. In fact, the course of the complete Sartrian theory had this finding as a guiding thread and, from the expansion of the notion of situation, Sartre's deepening into themes such as ethics, sociability, history and politics, for example, was necessary. Thus, focusing on a short text called Eléctions, piège à cons, a political article published in 1973 in which the philosopher presents a harsh criticism of the understanding of voting as a political act, this work seeks to understand how the notions of freedom, project, engagement and responsibility are articulated in Sartrean political thought. The hypothesis of the research is that there is a possibility of extracting from the referred circumstantial text, with the previous reading of the great classic works of Sartre, among them, Being and Nothingness and Critique of Dialectical Reason, a notion of political action anchored in human inventiveness and the need to form groups guided by common projects. All this from a bibliographical and qualitative methodology and having as a starting point the perception that, in Sartrian thought, freedom is by principle practical, that is, it is an act of liberation.
