Abstract

The text approaches the issue of authenticity in the thought of Sartre. The analysis comes from the text Reflection on the Jewish question, in which Sartre discourse on the Jewish inauthentic and authentic. Then we will work with the concept of bad-faith, as it seems impossible to make any project an authentic existence. The difficulty is thus to devise a full existence, held, but that can not be conceived in bad-faith.
