Subjects:

Existentialism as a concept, concerns itself with the nature of concrete human existence & fundamental freedom. To its end, the framework introduces the "Being-for-Itself" as a novel concept to describe the humanity in a person. – alive and engaged in the subjective experience; and addresses the freedom we hold to shape and define what it is we are.

Being-for-Itself is the essence of consciousness and subjectivity. Unlike chairs, tables, tires, and headbands, and cigars, and green Chartreuse; unlike the shades of blue, unlike all the knick-knacks on your shelf that bring you joy, or the litter that causes you shame, the living have this unique ability to transcend the immediate material condition and make choices. The choices we, and they make continuously constitute us and inform the future’s decisions-potentials. This constant process of ‘becoming’ is what “Being” is; it is a project onto itself. It is both terrific and terrifying because while the subject is radically free, the subject is also radically responsible for their actions and resultant consequences. The weight of this responsibility manifests as anxiety, inseparable from the human condition.
