@article{2013,title={Genesis Adventure of Self in Sartre: Space's invitation},abstractNode={The relation between philosophy and city has become one of the main problems of philosophy since the ancient thought. Socrates, Aristotle and Plato agree that the citizens living in accordance with the polis could attain the art of living well. The developed cities of the modern age and the problems about ‘living together’ to which this development has given rise and varied constitute one of the themes of philosophy today also. In this context Sartrean thought focuses on the city life and improves the consciousness of ethical awareness by orientating the temporal and spatial relationality of human reality toward the street discourse of freedom and in this way revealing the reciprocal determination of philosophy and city. During his intellectual development Sartre inquires the possibilities of ethical life for the plurality of consciousnesses to live together invites human beings to establish relationships grounded on a reciprocity about the other, to recognize the other one’s freedom and to have respect for these freedoms by means of their own free choices. In this respect Sartre’s ethics of freedom is essentially based upon an activity of human reality to inquire himself/herself, to understand himself/herself by inclining toward the world and the others and to create oneself constantly in the process of becoming. Consciousness is destined to the external look of the other in the sense of knowing and seeing oneself since it’s existentially related to the other. So the externality of human being turns into an objectivity by means of the look of the other and this objectivity must be taken as a supplementary aspect of human being’s claim for subjectivity. Sartre observes the crowds in several cities, hears the silent and invisible scream of the places and examines the attitudes of perceiving, alienating and othering; he criticizes the solitudes in the crowds and calls the human reality to ethical awareness. So because of the ceaseless production of the new places, the historicity of the place reveals the historicity of human relations. And Sartre puts the sound of the places into words in this historicity and tries to expose a possibility of ethical relations about freedom within the muteness of the place. Giving ear to Sartre’s descriptions about the relations will provide for the ethical problems about othering some new and different points of view. },author={Gülay ÖZDEMİR AKGÜNDÜZ},year={2013},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
