Course contents :  
The course will envisage the way the phenomenology of Sartre, in particular the project of an original phenomenological psychology of the emotions, allows to elaborate a political anthropology of the affectivity. It will be a question, more exactly, to show how these phenomenological tools allow to understand Sartre's discursive interventions during the period 1950-1975. Two questions will serve as guide: the question of the status of the intellectual; the question of violence.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The student will be capable of choosing a politico-discursive sequence which allows to question the phenomenological tools presented during the course, to encircle their conditions of validity and relevance. To say it about a formula, it will be a question of seeing in what conditions a philosophic proposition is effective, puts itself in crisis, can or has to take the risk of the stupidity.
