Existentialism 2 : self-consciousness
• Conscious awareness always has intentionality
• The phenomenological approach ‘brackets off’ any independent existence of mental objects

• Subject-object dichotomy is wrong
• Self-consciousness is one (and science two) steps from reality
• ‘Dasein’: the fundamental position of the individual

How to live
• Be ‘authentic’
• Existential ‘angst’ (anxiety)
• ‘Nihilism’ - there is no authority: values and so on must be created by individuals for themselves

‘Radical freedom’
• Being and nothingness
• Nothingness as the ‘subject’ of conscious thought
• At root, self-conscious beings are radically free

‘Hell is other people’
• The battle stemming from individuals exercising their will
• The requirement for authenticity; the ‘sin’ of bad faith
• Will to being leads to the will to freedom of all (ethics is possible)

The will to power
