Sartre bases interpersonal conflict on the scarcity of shared worldly resources.

Evidence

In Being and Nothingness, Sartre off ers us a predominantly antagonistic model of interpersonal relationships in which the Other and I both fi ght to recover our freedom and transcendence from the Other’s attempts to render us mere objects in their world. Inevitably, Sartre implies, exercising my own freedom will confl ict with the Other’s exercise of her freedom. And this is precisely because, as I have noted, we continue to share the same world, whose resources are not infi nite but are themselves limited and so cannot be equally enjoyed by all. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 641
