Sartre abandons several abstract claims when moving to concrete analysis

Evidence

As in the above case, with regard to Sartre’s revised notion of self, Sartre here notes his initial methodological solipsism, indicated by the phrase “keeping ourselves within the compass of existence-for-itself.” So understood, once Sartre moves to the concrete level of analysis, several of his abstract claims must be abandoned, a point oft en unnoticed in the secondary literature on Sartre. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 212
