SARTRE'S B O
To what extent, though, is this dark concusion strictly unavoidable in Sartre's terms? It is true that, in abstraction, awareness of the Other-asobject and of the Otherassubject are strictly exclusive, just as a ight must be either on or off. But as Sartre emphasizes (408/479), the foritself cannot fx itself in either one of these conditions to the excusion of the other: rather they represent oppsite, and mutually presupposing poes of intersubjective experience; intersubjective ife consists in a perpetual movement back and forth between them, and consciousness' reconfiguration in one mode or the other is typ icay not instantaneous but a temporally extended process. To that extent we might reasonaby think that the seesaw of objectication of/by the Other is not the only possibiity, and that a mode of intersubjective consciousness which holds awareness of the Other's subjectbeing and her objectbeing in some sort of equilibrium is not unimaginabe ( just as Sartre says of facticity and transcendence that they are two aspects of human reaity which are and ought to be capable of a valid coordination', 56/95). What does foow from Sartre's metaphysics is, first, that this equiibrium, if it can be achieved, wil never amount to a synthesis (302/364) contra Hege, the origina tension wi never be overcome And second, it must be acknowedged that, so ong as the foritsef's engagement with Others is determined in accordance with the fundamenta project described in §38, he seesaw is inescapabe So, if equiirium can be attained, this w not e because it is the natura state' of the foritsef: a motivationa counterforce to the fundamenta project wi be equied to se the teeoogy of intersubjective reations off on a new tack, and this on Sartre's account can be suppied ony by the armation of freedom (see §4). If this is correct, then the chapter on concrete relations with others' shows us so to speak the defaut setings or raw eements of intersubjectivity, the overcoming of which would take us to ethicay mature sociaity, which is not described in B&N but beongs to its ethica seque (see §44) What B&N has shown us is that ethica sociaity cannot be based on sympathy' or ove for feow man', and can be achieved ony though a neg ation of the circes of confict described by Sartre. At the same time, Sarre's account aows us to understand etter certain -

Eeryting that Sartre as told us about te ndivdual's ori ginal choice of sef is strictly compatble wt ts unknowabiity: it is possible that we can make out our orginal coces, at best, only partially and indistinctly Sartre's teory of freedom would be in no worse positon if tis were so, nor would t oblige us to treat the concept as merely regulative: my orgnal choice of mysef can be fuly real, even f my endeavours to grasp it to say what my lfe means or amounts to eave a resdue of surd unintelligibility Whie empasizing its difficulty, Sartre does consder how eer that the task of determinng a person's origina choice can be pursued wit some success, te necessary means being proided by eistental as opposed to Freudan or emprica' psychoanalysis In an earlier important passage concerned with the differ ences between eistenta and empirical psychoanalysis, at 5860/5357, Sartre declares that he restricts himsef to tak ing the psycoanalytic method' as his inspiration and that he appies it in a reverse sense' (589/536) In Part Four, Chapter 2, Section 1, Sartre states the methodological principles of eist entia psycoanaysis (5689/656), and describes its similarities with (56971/6579) and differences from (5715/65963) empir ica psychoanaysis It emerges that the methodoogical overap with Freud is con siderable eistentia psychoanaysis centres on the hermeneutic deciphering' of the symbols' of psychic life, es conceptu ay the meanings derved therefrom, understands the human subject as a historica structure, regards the event of infancy as crucial' for psychic crystallization (569/657), and accepts as significant data dreams, bungled actions, obsessions, and 1
