Document Summary
Imposed by on and for its own sake. Limitation (particularity) meaning: an open exigency to meaning (354) Consciousness continues to be the foundation of meaning-making activity. Dualist monism, trapped by its own trap. Desire for an ordered unity: god solipsist consciousness (ontological primacy) Referring back to an individual vs. presuming an interpersonal world-hood. Even a situation where the meaning of the limit is already constituted by others . Cannot be encountered unless it is assumed by [individual] consciousness . Being consistent: project / end a global framework of meaning-making. The future possible, not real (cp 262) The plenitude of the given vs. the end that does not yet exisit . A past that has never been present. Birth: more ancient than the consciousness born into it. Sartre"s allusion: coefficient of adversity / memory of being . A shadow that can never be brought to light.
