Man wishes to be the sole subject of the universe, to absorb the word into himself, and never to be an object. According to Sartre, we react to this anguish either honestly, by acting on the basis of our freedom, or in bad faith, by escape and evasion. We can pretend that we are a Being in Itself, that we are complete, that other men have no claim on us. This involves inertia, withdrawal, passivity, acceptance. Or we may evade he responsibility of freedom by assuming the identity of a Being for Others, by adopting the form in which other see and label us. David Caute on Sartre
