Document Summary
The structural aspect of consciousness: facticity deals with one structural aspect, freedom, form the structure of consciousness. Forever going beyond, itself, you cannot contain it in a container. Problem: on the one hand we make meaning of things of everyday life, and on the other hand we cannot choose which situation we find ourselves. Dualism: freedom & facticity, thinking being = freedom, facts of the world = facticity, problem: communication between freedom and facticity. Solution: reduce the part of freedom to the part of facticity. No longer a boundary, reduce to matter and there is no longer a place for freedom. Everything is unchangeable: reduce the part of facticity to the part of freedom. If everything is in my concept, then why is there dissatisfaction in the world because the world has unchangeable aspects: sarte: distance himself from these models. Because consciousness is already at work because we are already making meanings: assume the structure of transcendence.
