Sartre and Freud as Resources for Thinking the Genesis of a We-Perspective

Résumé

The philosophical problem I address in the paper is centered around the following questions. What kind of relation to others is relevant for the emergence of a we-perspective? Should one prioritize the concrete face-to-face encounter between self and other or, rather, focus on the much more complex social configurations involving the figure and the function of a third party (le tiers)? Drawing inspiration from Sartre’s Critique of Dialectical Reason and Freud’s Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, I argue that, in order to account for the genesis of a “we-perspective” in large- scale, polycentric, and constantly shifting social configurations, one needs to shift the theoretical focus from the You to the Third, that is, from the dyadic face-to-face (immediate) relations of reciprocity between I and You, self and other to ternary relations of “mediated reciprocity,” involving the figure and the function of a third party who is at the same time an Other for the I and a representative of the symbolic order.
