[On existentialism, quoting Sartre]

'The for-itself arises as the nihilization of the in-itself, and this
nihilization defines itself as a project towards the in-itself; between
the nihilized in-itself and the projected in-itself the for-itself is
nothing. Thus the end and aim of the nihilization that I am is the
in-itself. Hence the reality of man is desire to be in-itself /qua/
for-itself.' I may add that the desired state of being a for-itself-
in-itself is one which is necessarily incapable of attainment. This
is the reason why man is so unhappy.
