This paper examines the meaning and significance of Sartre’s concept of “the third” within the social ontology of the Critique of Dialectical Reason. Through an examination of three different types of group formation (serial collectives, statutory groups, and sport teams), this paper provides an analysis of central Sartrean insights into how individual action and collective agency are co-constituted. This paper also draws attention to the role ascribed to material objects as well as ideological views and beliefs in the formation of social agency.

Keywords:   Sartre, social ontology, the third, praxis, technology, ideology, collective agency, freedom, soccer
