Abstract
The article proposes a line of interpretation on the role of imagination in the formation of the self in Jean Paul Sartre's phenomenology. Following in retrospect an indication of Sartre himself from the seventies, a research hypothesis is systematized that takes the ego as the tacit correlate of an imaginative consciousness in accordance with his early work The Imaginary, as an option of interpretation of the transcendent character of the ego as a correlate of the complicit reflection in Being and Nothingness.
