Critical remarks
pp. 106-125
Abstract
The being of consciousness is not in any of its dimensions capable of being made into an object by the same consciousness. Therefor, in so far as the body-for-itself is a structure of the being of consciousness as for-itself, it cannot be made an object by consciousness. Similarly, consciousness can only exist its being a body-for-Others but not by itself. I do not know my body as such in its three dimensions, I am it: being it, my body can never become an object for me.
