Consciousness’s transcendence is haunted by love, understanding, and dissolved truths
Evidence
Man is not merely a possibility of recapture or of negation. If it is true that consciousness is a process of transcendence, we have to see too that this transcendence is haunted by the problems of love and understanding. Man is a yes that vibrates to cosmic harmonies. Uprooted, pursued, baffled, doomed to watch the dissolution of the truths that he has worked out for himself one after another, he has to give up projecting onto the world an antinomy that coexists with him. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 18
