Ahhh, thanks. That clarified a lot of things for me. It is strange that he uses the term 'being-for-itself' when it is meant to be a negation of being, tho'.

Another thing that's sort of unclear to me is how we should take Sartre's notion of free will. Is it to be understood only in the context of not being dragged down by being-in-itself? In other words, free from representation? I have heard he rejects determinism, but in a subjective sense only or also in an objective sense?
