- Title
SARTRE ON BODILY TRANSPARENCY.
- Authors
BOYLE, MATTHEW
- Abstract
Sartre's obscure but evocative remarks on bodily awareness have often been cited, but, I argue, they have rarely been understood. This paper aims to bring the connection between Sartre's views on bodily awareness and his more general distinction between "positional" and "non-positional" consciousness. Sartre's main claim about bodily awareness, I argue, is that our primary awareness of our own bodies is a form of non-positional consciousness. I show that he is right about this, and right to think that recognizing this point is crucial to understanding what it is for something to be my body.
