Document Summary
Consciousness of object has a non-divisible unity with non-positional consciousness. The pre-reflective i thinks an object with a non-positional/non-cognitive consciousness of that object. Positional/thetic consciousness is consciousness that posits an object other than itself. Reflective consciousness is a form of consciousness that posits consciousness as an object of consciousness. We imbue it with meaning, give it value. It"s just inert mass, but we give it value by our projects and how we attempt to attain our projects. Bad faith is something we need to avoid, because it is a lie and error. It has a goal of somehow fixing our essence, fixing our nature. It is a natural and futile project when we take it as a project that is written in things, as opposed to a completely free and contingent project. A person who recognizes the true structure of existence.
