VARGAS GONZALEZ, Livia. Freedom, truth and totalization: Sartre dispute with the end of history in truth and existence. EPISTEME [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.2, pp.29-46. ISSN 0798-4324.

In Truth and Existence Sartre will start exposing the forms in which history has been understood, questioning the finalist and closed character of those views while, at the same time, unveiling the neutralizing effect that such notions have over the freedom of the human being. Confronting the idea of being as a closed totality, Sartre will conceive the notion of totalization as a human claim. The present article will take the notions of truth and ignorance that Sartre elaborates in Truth and Existence in order to see how from those notions he develops a particular conception of historical meaning in which the subject is rescued from reifying or objectifying pretenses, understanding the act of knowing not as a mere contemplative passivity but, to the contrary, as a transformative human praxis.

Palabras clave : Truth; historiality; totalization.
