| | Sartre’s Hermeneutics of Praxis as a Philosophy of Understanding, Morality and Social Critique |
 | | In this paper I shall focus on the problems of morality and the grounds of social critique, primarily on the basis of Sartre's praxis-philosophical standpoint in Critique de la Raison dialectique and other relevant writings of that period. |
 | | According to such a perspective, if philosophical ethics is to remain of any interest, it must be able to leave the domain of possible universality, and engage in questions that might not have any stronger status than that they participate in the dialogue we carry out with ourselves, as Gadamer says. |
 | | By this he transforms his earlier and often misinterpreted claim that ethics, in the last instance, is a matter of choice, into a framework that better fits his praxis-philosophical standpoint, while preserving the claim that morality can never, and must never, be turned into a rigid system of commands. |
