The theme of this study is the concept of body in the book of J.-P. Sartre Being and Nothingness. There are three ontological dimensions: 1. the body as "being-for itself", as total center ofreference which things indicate, 2. "the body-for-others" and 3. how I exist for myself as a body knownby Other. By Sartre the nature of "our body for us" entirely escapesus to the extent that we can take upon it the Other's point of view.

Keywords: living body, body as object, Other, Other's view
