A má-fé na implicação do racismo, segundo Jean-Paul Sartre

Abstract

In Being and Nothingness, in his analysis of phenomenological ontology, Jean-Paul Sartre describes the concept of bad faith, differentiating it from a simple lie to another. Bad faith is related to the notion of ontological freedom, however, a person may not have an understanding of his or her own condition. Based on this conception, we seek to address racism here understood as an attitude of bad faith, since it consists of the naturalization of prejudice and discrimination based on social perceptions sustained by biological differences between people and peoples, although there is no scientific basis for the concept of race. The objective of this study, of a bibliographic nature and qualitative approach, is to investigate how this attitude implies the denial of the humanity of the other, having as theoretical and reflective orientation existentialism from the Sartrean perspective.
