# Esquisse d’une théorie des émotions is published as a phenomenological psychology

Date: 1939

## The fact

In 1939 [Jean-Paul Sartre](/people/jean-paul-sartre) published Esquisse d’une théorie des émotions, a short phenomenological psychology that treats emotion as a magic transformation of the world, not as a mere physiological leak. It taught a medical-adjacent public to read feeling as intentional. A sketch is not a ward.

## Context

He was still a lycée professor. War mobilisation would come the same year. Husserl’s lectures sat behind the sketch. Sharing the phenomenological debt does not erase the title page. Do not treat later psychiatry as this 1939 brochure. Nausea 1938 remains a neighbouring fiction row.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is health-system-capacity. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
