Discuss how Jean-Paul Sartre's arguments illustrate the monistic view of being that is held by existentialists.
What will be an ideal response?
In his book Being and Nothingness, Sartre argued that there are three dimensions of the body:
1. The body as being-for-itself
2. The body as being-for-the-other
3. My body as body-known-by-the-other
Sartre's three dimensions of the body provide insight into the nature of movement and the manner in which bodies are viewed. They also distinguish between the body as object and the body as subject. When the body is viewed as an object, having its own laws and defined from the outside, it is difficult to connect or link the material body with a mind or consciousness that is personal and subjective. However, when the body is experienced or lived on a personal or holistic level, the subjective "being-for-itself" dimension manifests itself.
