Damit ist bereits gesagt, dass man Sartre's Philosophie der Leiblichkeit nicht versteht, wenn man sie von seiner ontologischen Positionen 10s16st. Die groszen Thesen seiner Seinslehre darf ich als bekannt voraussetzen. Sartre stellt zwei grosze Bereiche einander gegeniiber, die einen schroffen Gegensatz bilden: das inhaltlose, grundlose, beziehunglose Ansich-sein, von dem man nur sagen kann, dasz es faktisch besteht, einerseits; und das Bewusztsein, das sich von dieser massiven Sinnlosigkeit belagert weisz, andererseits.

Das Unsichtbare katexochen ist aber das lautere Denkgebilde, das reine "ens rationis", das nur ideal Seiende. Das Ideale befindet sich jedoch nicht in einem Reich der Ideen, das von dem irdischen und fleischlichen Sein streng getrennt ist. Im Gegenteil: das Unsichtbare erwăchst aus der Sublimierung einer Tendenz, die dem Sichtbaren, dem, was "es gibt", bereits innewohnt.
