For Sartre all relations with others serve self-protection and self-foundation

Evidence

My fundamental project toward the other— whatever may be the attitude I assume— is twofold: fi rst there is the problem of protecting myself against the danger which is incurred by my being-outside-in-the-Other’s-freedom, and second there is the problem of utilizing the other in order fi nally to totalize the detotalized totality which I am, so as to close the open circle, and fi nally to be my own foundation. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 631
