PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Sartre believed that inanimate objects were fundamentally different from human consciousness. He suggested that humans are conscious of their own existence, while objects simply exist. Human existence, or a “being-for-itself, ‘’ could thus choose to be whatever it wanted.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

Detailed explanation-3: -For Sartre, one seeks to reveal oneself as a subject to the other-as-subject, and instead becomes an object; for Lacan, one desires to become the object of desire for the other spoken to, but only has one’s own subjectivity returned in the other’s speech.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central cleavage in Sartre, on which most other distinctions depend, is that between being-in-itself and being-for-itself. As for being-in-itself, Sartre gives us three characterizations—all in his own exceedingly cryptic style. As he puts it: being is; being is what it is; and being is in-itself.
