Abstract

This paper aims at delving further into a comparative analysis on Jean-Paul Sartre’s and Eduardo Nicol’s understanding of the experience of otherness. Despite the fact that no direct dialogue between those philosophers took place, this paper points to bringing light into the ways in which Nicol’s philosophy offers conceptual tools so as to overcome the conflictive nature that, according to Sartre, lies at the core of human subjectivity. By engaging with Sartre’s phenomenological assumptions, it will be outline to what extent Eduardo Nicol’s metaphysics paves the way towards conceptualizing human subjectivity which surpasses the opacities that the French philosopher had diagnosed in his reflections on the dialectics of the gaze.
