Sartre’s Hegel exposure during Being and Nothingness came mediated through Beauvoir.

Evidence

Nevertheless, I think we must draw an important distinction between Sartre’s references to the lack of a dialectic in Being and Nothingness and his further claim that the work is not Hegelian. Th e absence of any dialectic does not necessarily mean in itself that there is no Hegelian infl uence in this work, although it is likely that Sartre’s rather hurried reading of Hegel during the period of composition of Being and Nothingness would lead him not to recognize the full extent of the Hegelian infl uence on this work. Clearly, in this work Sartre was infl uenced by his reading of Hegel, and specifi cally a reading of Hegel mediated in the fi rst instance via Beauvoir. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 246
