    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to elicit the main ontological assumptions underlying two phenomenologies: Martin Heidegger’s and Jean-Paul Sartre’s. In the first part, the concept of the phenomenon is outlined in the horizon of the question about Heideggerian Sein and Sartrean être. Remaining within the same horizon, the second part raises the issue of essence and broadly comprehended understanding. During the analysis, the phenomenal and metaphysical realms are identified in the project of French philosopher, which are then compared with the ontic and ontological levels, areas that emerge in the German phenomenologist’s thought thanks to the development of ontological difference. The conclusion drawn from the presented article could be formulated in the thesis that for Sartre the core of reality consists in the absurd, metaphysical basis placed outside the phenomenon and understanding (and completely independent of them), while according to Heidegger the reality’s kernel is the pre-phenomenal (and not extra-phenomenal) source of meaning, “being” and happening only through the dynamics of phenomenon and understanding.
