Abstract

Sartre attempts to distinguish consciousness from self by arguing that the unity of consciousness does not require a transcendental self: consciousness is unified in the self and its object. The self or Ego is a function of consciousness which comes into play only when consciousness reflects, i.e., becomes its own object.--R. G. S.
