Seminar 3 – Subjectivity
and Psychoanalysis
ADRI M SMIT
ENGL 6844 15 SEPTEMBER 2015

,
, Sartrean existentialism

 What it means to be human: Groundlessness & Radical Freedom vs
‘unproblematic being of the world of things’
 Two realities beyond conscious experience: ‘the being of the object of the
consciousness and that of consciousness itself’
 Essential feature of consciousness: negative power – ‘nothingness’
 Projects as grounding the ‘self’: aspects of the individual’s fundamental
project, motivated by desire of “being” within indiv. Consciousness: project’s
source is individual’s spontaneous, free choice (bad/good)
 Escaping self-deception requires Authenticity aka choosing in a way that
reveals the for-itself factually & transcendentally
 Therefore, one’s proper exercise of freedom reveals universal values shared
by similar authentic others, universal dimension expressed in singular lives
